To fix this issue permanently, kindly follow the steps below.

Solution 1:

Outlook 2010 opened in the Mail section, I clicked on:

1.       File, Options, Advanced

2.       Send/Receive... button on the right side under Send and receive

3.       Edit... (on right side) for All Accounts

4.       Check the circle for "Use the custom behavior defined below"

5.       Check all the folders desired and Check the circle for "Download complete item including            attachments", 

          Closed out all the windows with OK and/or Close, and no more error messages!

Solution 2:

1. Navigate to File >> Options >> Advanced >> scroll down to the send/receive heading >> click on thesend/receive button on the right
2. On the right hand side of the send/receive groups window that opens click on the Edit button
3. Un-check the "Get folder unread count for subscribed folders"
4. Under Received mail items, check the option "User the custom behavior defined below"
5. In the window below that displays your Gmail folders just select inbox and leave the others unchecked
6. Click Ok and then exit out of options and perform a send/receive to test if it is now working

This worked for me.
