This article explains how to set Gmail POP settings to receive email from Outlook or any email client.
If you want to view your Gmail messages in an email client such as Microsoft Outlook, configure your Gmail POP server settings on the client. After you do so, configure the email client to download your messages from the Gmail server.
POP settings are needed only to access incoming messages. To use your email effectively, configure the Gmail SMTP server settings for outgoing messages.

Before you configure your email client with the Gmail POP settings, enable POP in your Gmail account.
Select Settings (the gear icon), then choose See all settings.
In the Settings screen, select the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab.
In the POP download section, choose Enable POP for all mail or Enable POP for mail that arrives from now on.
Unless you have a specific reason to download all your email, select Enable POP for mail that arrives from now on.
Select the When messages are accessed with POP dropdown arrow and choose what will happen when your Gmail messages are accessed through the email client.
If you select keep Gmail's copy in the Inbox, when you delete messages in the email client, they'll still be there when you open Gmail in a web browser.
This method can cause your account storage to exceed the limit and possibly prevent emails from being delivered to your inbox.
If you choose to delete Gmail's copy, when a message is downloaded to your email client it is deleted from Gmail and not accessible from the Gmail website.
When you've made your selections, select Save Changes.
To configure your email client with the Gmail POP settings, create a new account. The exact way to perform these steps is different for each client (though the settings you enter will always be the same).
