Google Apps Sync is designed to sync all your email messages, calendar events, and contacts in Outlook seamlessly with your Google Apps account in the cloud (on the Internet), allowing you to access the same information at any time, from either interface. This means if you read, delete or move a message in Outlook, it will be reflected in your online PruPref.com GMAIL account, and vice-versa.
