Looking for options to use an LDSmail account through gmail. I'd rather not work through outlook then the Gmail/outlook sync if possible. Are there any other options for direct sync of LDSMail and gmail?

I doubt it. Gmail is a service that has it's own built-in client. The client doesn't connect to other email services. You could probably set up something so that emails to your LDSMail account is forwarded to Gmail, but the replies would still be from Gmail. (and some emails may be lost in the forwarding).

Outlook is a email client and (at least when run as an app) can sync to multiple email services including Gmail.

What kind of device are you using? When you say you want your email to come through Gmail, are you talking about the Gmail mobile app, or the Gmail web page (https://mail.google.com/)?

I vaguely remember using a Gmail feature in the past where you could give it your credentials to another account and it would retrieve email from that account and show it in your gmail. I guess it's similar to forwarding, as russellhltn suggested, but in this case, it's pulling your email vs. pushing it from another service. That was several years ago. Maybe a feature like that is still there; you'd have to look through the options. Even if that works, as russellhltn mentioned, any sends are going to be from gmail.
