Moving emails from GMail folders to Outlook Folders

Have two email accounts: Outlook and Gmail. They check and pull mail off the servers independently. I would prefer to only have to look in ONE account for my mail. I have chosen Outlook. I am having problems getting Thunderbird to push the emails in my Gmail folders to the corresponding Outlook folders. Is that because it can't be done? In settings for GMail account, under Copies and folders, I push: Sent messages > Sent on d*******1@outlook.com Archives folder > Archive on d*******1@outlook.com Drafts > Drafts folder on d*******1@outlook.com but they don't seem to be going there.

Is there a way to move messages in GMail TRASH to Outlook DELETED? As you can see, I'm not very aquainted with these things and am pretty confused. Any help appreciated.

My general suggestion on such topics is to avoid them if they are confusing, because that often leads to worse problems later. I do not know Outlook well, but Gmail offers the ability to pull in all outlook mail. Would that work for you? Check both outlook and gmail online services. That is, what you want is best done outside of thunderbird.
