See what happens if you try to set it up using Advanced IMAP settings:

    Hi all, Your help is  greatly appreciated.

      I thought that I followed the steps to get my Google account linked and see it listed as an account in Mail.

      However, I have a warning sign by that account.  (looks like the hazard button in my car)

    The warning is :We couldn't access this account: Google You might need to update your password or give the account permission to sync to this device.

    That email is already accessed on this device - I was just trying to get it to show in this "outlook"mail.

    Any ideas are welcome.

    I have been battling with the same issue for hours (days) now.

    I have done a full reset of my Surface Book.

    My other Windows 10 PC is able to connect without issue.

    I can connect the account using the advanced/IMAP option, but this does not sync the Calendar which is the only thing I want to be able to do.

    This is infuriating and driving me insane. I am also clearly not the only one. Why has this not been fixed?

    Same code... 0x8000000b
