Ask HN: Ideal setup when sharing Gmail?
I'm working with a startup where we all share "inbox duty" on Gmail. What's the ideal way I can access the inbox, respond to email, and have everything remain on the server while I use Outlook 2016 as my email client app from my Win10 laptop? Extra points if I can apply Gmail labels from within Outlook as well.
Basically, I want to use the email app of my choice without damaging the experience for everyone else.
Yes, I really like Outlook. Don't judge It's what I'm comfortable with, my fingers have muscle memory from years of using the same keyboard shortcuts, and I customize the hell out of it so it practically doesn't resemble the factory-installed version.

- kngspook 9y agoGenerally shared email accounts are problematic. Have you guys considered a mailing list or a delegated mailbox?
- merubin75 9y agoTruth be told, I'm being generous when I say "inbox duty." It's basically me. I flag things for my boss's attention with a label, but apart from that, I'm the guy responding to most things.
