I am receiving continuos emails from microsoft saying that lost connection to google account, everytime I reconnect after about 10 min microsoft lost connection again and I receive another email.
Is the problem some config in google account or changes in google services?
Is the problem some config in microsoft account security?
Note: When reconnecting, the permission asked by google is only offline access.

If non-junk emails always go to junk mail you need to move them to "Inbox", either individually or by batch. Maybe easier to move them all to Inbox and then send the ones you want to Junk. If this happens only after the "can't connect" message then it is funny (and crazy!) Myself, I'm glad I switched to a Chromebook. I never have that problem.
Six months ago I quit Windows after my hard drive died. I was sick of using two different operating systems. I now use a Toshiba Chromebook, HP tablet and my phone is a Nexus 6. I have three different email accounts. The Outlook mail app on my Chromebook works perfectly. On my tablet and phone I use the Blue Mail app from the Play Store. All my email accounts go to Blue Mail. Blue Mail is loaded with features (printing is a breeze) and very easy to set up, that being linking all your email accounts. I have never gotten this "can't connect" email since I quit using Windows.
If this helps, I got this email all the time. And when I disconnect and reconnect, eventually the emails would return.
What I have done is I have turned on 2-factor authentication on my Google account (and on my Microsoft account because it's a good practice). and that has eliminated the emails ever since.
Yes, you will need your mobile device to assist you into logging into your computer or other device the first time but you can be assured that your account(s) will only be logged in by you.
Dear sir , do you mean microsoft keeps asking you to put yor Google account over to microsoft? If you are and it's not working have a look at your Google settings kind regards susan minto.
Hi Paul,
Thank you for your response.
This may be a temporary issue, however if you are facing the issue on a regular interval then could you try removing your Gmail account from your Microsoft account and configure it again.
