Help with MS Outlook 2019 and Gmail

[Drumstik59]

I synced my gmail account with Microsoft outlook 2019.
I no longer want to use Microsoft Outlook.
How can I get everything back to gmail and running before I synced it?

Thanks

Gmail should still be able to work as it did before you synced the e-mail. You can verify this by logging into Gmail through your Internet browser.

If Outlook was set to pull all messages from your Gmail account to Outlook, those messages pulled to your computer cannot be restored back onto the Gmail server. However, this would only affect older e-mail messages. You'll still be able to get all new messages in Gmail as you did before.

OK Thanks.

Is there anything I should do in either gmail or outlook to unsynch it.

If you're not planning on using Outlook I'd remove the Gmail account from Outlook to prevent it from connecting to your account again. Other than that, nothing should be required.

Also, there are settings in all e-mail clients including Outlook that allow you to keep the mail on the server so it's not moved off of the server and onto computer. This would allow you to read all mail on both your local computer and on Gmail if that is something that interests you. However, most people don't like this option because you'd have to do an action such as deleting an e-mail on Outlook and on Gmail.
