Marianne,
Make sure the e-mail is configured as IMAP in Outlook, not POP. Given the way Gmail works, there might be other factors involved, too. It would be useful to know what shows up if you log in to Gmail webmail, go to Settings, Settings choice, Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab, then the POP download and IMAP access settings.
