I don't know for sure but, I know you can have several accounts in Thunderbird and LiveMail. I assume outlook would be similar, or better since Thunderbird and LiveMail are free and, you have to pay for outlook.

WildBlue, Exede and Outlook all support the 800 pound gorilla, Gmail. You can set it up as IMAP or POP. I think Apple products like IMAP. I have had better luck setting up Gmail accounts manually rather than automatically, but that may just be me.

You start in Gmail by enabling the IMAP protocol there for your Gmail account (or ensuring that it is enabled). Then you go to Outlook and configure it to utilize the IMAP protocol - all pretty much as outlined in the links in the reply below.
Gmail also supports the POP protocol (an older one) but I think you'll find IMAP to be less confusing in the long run (the difference is primarily where your email messages are stored in the long term and whther they are synchronized across multiple devices - the Gmail server or on your machine, IMAP maintains the messages on the Gmail server allowing them to be accessed from any device or anywhere else using the Gmail browser interface)

See http://www.howtogeek.com/174837/how-to-add-your-gmail-account-to-outlook-2013-using-imap/
If the automatic option doesn't work see the Gmail manual settings at:

Removed spam link and closing this old thread. Disappointed in Judy Dench, I get her character dying in Skyfall was hard but shouldn't Downton Abbey keep her happy and not flooding 2 year old threads with spam? lol
