Anybody know how to download gmail to outlook?

I have a gmail account that I want to utilize Outlook to receive emails. For some reason, it allows me to use outlook express, but if I configure Outlook, I get an error message. Anybody has setup that would allow you to get an access to gmail via Outlook?
