How To Receive The Same Emails On Multiple Devices
If you’re like most people these days you get your email on a phone, at a home computer and at the office/studio. If you’re using POP to retrieve your mail there’s a problem because once you download the new emails to your phone you can no longer get them on the desktop. Here are two solutions:
1. Switch to IMAP. This protocol allows all the devices to communicate with each other. Go here to see how:

Just remember your username is john@johndoe.com not john@gmail.com since you use Google Apps.
2. Use this POP workaround:

Open your Outlook (or other POP client) and add the word “recent:” to your username. That means if your email address is “john@jondoe.com” replace that with “recent:john@johndoe.com”
