Problem: I get duplicate emails. I have set up import email from Gmail to Outlook.com as well as Outlook.com to Gmail. Thus, I get double the emails in Outlook.com. I want to stop this.

What I want: To stop importing mail into Gmail from Outlook.com and use Outlook.com as my primary web client for both.

Where I am stuck: See the screen shot below. It does not have 'delete' option for the outlook.com account! I tried to test it with a spare with Hotmail account I had; the 'delete' option exists for the test Hotmail account but not the Outlook.com account.

How can I remove it? It so happens that Outlook.com account is also its security email. No other link comes to my mind though I have inter-linked my accounts in myriad ways over the years. No solution seems to exist for my problem. Help!

    Does Outlook have an option forwarding to Gmail? From that screenshot, I can see that Gmail doesn't have any accounts it's actually pulling mail from. I suspect you just have Outlook forwarding emails to Gmail.

  • What's behind "edit info"? Did you try looking in there?

Go to outlook.com and look under "Options". Under "Mail forwarding" you should see that your email is being forwarded to another address. Simply turn it off.
