(What most of us think of as "Outlook" is an email client program, not a substitute for a mail server like Gmail.)

I think that is the only convenient way. You would want to go into the POP settings on your Gmail account and tell it to enable POP for "all mail, even messages already downloaded." The only other way I know of, is to install an email client program that does IMAP, configure it to do IMAP with your Gmail account, then wait a few hours/days while it synchronizes and downloads everything from your Gmail. Then re-configure the client program to talk to your new account (again using IMAP) and it should upload them to the new account. (I have never done this.) There might be 3rd party tools that can bulk download everything and upload them to another account, but I can't tell you about those.
