For gmail is better to set up the account as exchange, not only the email but the calendars and contacts are going to be synchronize.
1. Under windows 8 Mail App hover with your mouse over the right side upper corner to access the charm bar.
2. Select Settings >> Account
3. Click Add an Account >> Other Account
4. Choose Exchange
5. You may try the automatic email server configuration entering your gmail and password. If that does not work enter the settings manually selecting "show more details"
6. In the server field type "m.google.com"
7. Leave the Domain field blank
8. In the user name type your full gmail account (ie. XYZ@gmail.com)
9. Click on connect
