should i read gmail inside outlook or keep them separate?

i went the other way and kept them together, but only because i use outlook for work all day and wanted one place to look. it works if you pick one app to sort in and treat the other as read-only. two apps moving stuff around is where it goes wrong.

separate, honestly. gmail labels turn into folders in outlook and archiving doesn't behave the way you'd expect. if you do combine them, sort in one app only.
