Recurring email "Reconnect to Google"

The email is most definitely legitimate from Microsoft.  I can reproduce it 100% by:

• Going to http://login.live.com
• Log in with your Microsoft account
• Go to Related Accounts
• Click Manage Other Accounts
• Edit Google's connection
• Hit "Save"

That gives me the email, and shows that "Your connection to Google isn't working" message.

I came back and tried these steps again, and I no longer get the email.

I unmark as answer because didn't work with me...

I am think this issue is not related with outlook.com, I did every thing suggested here and nothing work, This is my main account and use in my Win8 desktop and WindowsPhone 8 maybe something related to this devices? or Google change the API and Microsoft didn't updated it yet.

In google account site has a new option in Security -> Account Permission

"Enable" or "Disable" less security apps access you google account.

maybe Microsoft is getting into this category (less security) and it is being blocked.

It was Enable for default, I'll mark disable and see the results

I thank the help, but is it really necessary? because I don't want to import my google e-mails to outlook.com, it is a really old account with a lot of e-mails. in this moment I only want "Chat with Google contacts".

Hello Rodolpho,

Thank you for posting back!

Let me assist you on this matter and rest assured that I will endeavor to assist you as best as I can and hopefully we can get this issue fixed for you.

Since you've mentioned that removing the connection completely didn't resolve the issue, it is possible that the Chat with your Google contacts and Send email from your Gmail address using Outlook.comis not selected. Kindly follow the steps that I'll be providing below to help you in resolving this issue.

1. Sign in to your Outlook.com account using Internet Explorer browser.
2. Click the gear icon located on the upper right panel of your mailbox, then select Options.
3. Under Managing your account, click the Import email accountsfrom the options.
4. Under Choose from where you want to import your account, click the Google.

Once the Import process has been done, kindly go to https://accounts.live.com then click the Related accounts. After doing so, click the Manage other accounts button then click the Edit button for Google. Kindly make sure to select the box beside the Chat with your Google contactsand Send email from your Gmail address using Outlook.com option then click the Save button.

Should you have any further questions or concerns, please let us know.

To whoever still has this issue, the best way to fix it is not to "reconnect" but to DISCONNECT your account, and then actuallyre-connect it yourself. I reconnected using the link I got with the e-mails several times, I decided to disconnect entirely, then connect it again. To my surprise, it worked.

The only question that remains is, why couldn't Microsoft make a reconnect algorithm that is capable of doing this for you...

I did that before, and now I can't use outlook.com messages to talk with gtalk friends. I'll try do this again, but I know the result.
