Hi People,

I’ve got a business Gmail account that I’m trying to use within Outlook (I just like the client/format/folders better) - but I can’t seem to load the HubSpot extension with this account.

Any ideas/tips/advice on how to get Hubspot email tracking on a Gmail account, loaded within Outlook?

Hi @CoryGordon Regardless of the service-provider source of the email address, if you are using it in Outlook you will need to use the Outlook desktop add-in ([the third option here](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/articles/kcs_article/settings/how-to-install-hubspot-sales)).

If you use your gmail-provided address with gmail in Chrome, you would be able to install hte Chrome plug-in.

Thank you,

Ed Justen

Hi there,  
This is a helpful post.  
However I am using Gmail via the Outlook for Mac on my macbook.  
It seems, also based on what I read in other posts, that it is not possible to use the HubSpot integration that way.

What would be a mail client for mac I could use with Gmail thaht supports HubSpot?  
Many thanks
