How to Stop Duplicate Sent E-Mail Items in Outlook with Gmail or G Suite

We had an issue today where Gmail was duplicating e-mails in the sent folder of Outlook and Gmail.
Resolution:  Check the box “Do Not Save Copies of Sent Items” in Outlook.

Found a great article on duplication of e-mails with Outlook and G Suite today at http://www.pstrepairtool.org/blog/prevent-duplicate-sent-items-gmail-outlook.html.  We were able to solve the issue with the top information.  Outlook seems to be saving the e-mail in the sent folder, then syncing the duplicate to Gmail through IMAP or G-Suite Sync.
