using outlook 2007 categories through gmail

[dan knock]

hi everyone,
I would like to find a way to keep outlook 2007 categories through gmail.
Gmail use label which are show as folders in outlook.
So it's "simple": when I put a category to an email, a script could copy this email to the right mapi folder in Gmail.
in others PCs a script could put automatically a category to every email which are into this folder:
ex: I put "urgent" category to an email ->copy this email to "urgent" gmail folder
and then: in others PCs every email in "urgent" gmail folder could set to "urgent" category.
the only pb... I don't know how to do that in VBA for outlook 2007.
Someone could help me ?
I'm convinced that many other users could be interested.
greeting.

I've found this:
It move every categorised email to a specific folder (urgent ou boulot).
beware: this script freeze outlook a long time to achieve the operation.
I need to link it with the event "user has check a new email in a specific folder"... if you know how, tell me

Sub MoveItems()
Dim myNamespace As Outlook.NameSpace
Dim myFolder As Outlook.Folder
Dim myItems As Outlook.Items
Dim myRestrictItems As Outlook.Items
Dim myItem As Outlook.MailItem
Dim racine As Outlook.Folder

Set myNamespace = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set myFolder = _
myNamespace.GetFolderFromID(ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder.EntryID)

Set myItems = myFolder.Items
Set racine = myFolder.Parent
Set myRestrictItems = myItems.Restrict("[Catégories] = 'urgent ou boulot'")

For i = myRestrictItems.Count To 1 Step -1
myRestrictItems(i).Move racine.Folders("urgent ou boulot")
Next
End Sub

This example moves an item as soon as you categorize it. You could adopt it,
and just copy the item instead:
http://www.vboffice.net/sample.html?lang=en&mnu=2&smp=70&cmd=showitem

This one shows how to assign a category as soon as it gets into a certain
folder:
http://www.vboffice.net/sample.html?lang=en&mnu=2&smp=42&cmd=showitem

If you know exactly how many folders you want to watch, you could use one
Items variable for each. For instance:

Private WithEvents Items_1 As Outlook.Items
Private WithEvents Items_2 As Outlook.Items
etc.

In Application-Startup you'd have to set every of these variables to the
Items collection of one folder.
