Default Using Outlook 2003 for POP3 mails

I have successfully configured outlook 2003 with a POP3 mail (Gmail).
The problem I am facing is that all the Gmail messages (in inbox & in
sent box) have been downloaded into the outlook inbox. The sent
folder is not getting configured with the sent folder of Gmail.


Of course not. POP is one-way and the protocol has no concept of folders.

As per Gmail help, this is a known issue in outlook which can be
solved by configuring outlook to syncronise with the correspoding
folder in the Gmail.


Gmail Help doesn't mention synchronizing Outlook's Sent Items folder with
the Gmail Sent Mail folder anywhere I can find. Please post a URL to an
article where you believe it says that's possible.

The problem is I am not able to find any such way to do that in
Outlook 2003.


Because you can't, at least with POP access.

I was able to configure Gmail POP3 with Outlook Express & there was
no such issue.


Outlook Express can't save sent items in the Gmail Sent Mail folder, either.
No POP client can.
