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.

This helped me but I was unable to find the link on my account page. I could not fix this problem until you provided the link. Maybe it is only accessible for english users?
You need to make this page (https://profile.live.com/) more easy to access.
When I am using the swedish page (https://account.microsoft.com/) it is impossible to find.
It's not a scam. Rather than click on the link in the email (to be safe), you can go to the People hub in Outlook.com and you'll see the connection to Google is broken.
How/why it gets broken is still a mystery to me. I know it'll tend to get triggered (sometimes) when I open a Windows app (Mail, Calendar) that I haven't opened in a while but sometimes it'll come randomly. There's not much rhyme/reason. It's annoying but I really don't get much value connecting to Google from Outlook.com so eventually I'll probably just remove the connection altogether.
I think this may be a scam. I have sent test emails from all my accounts from and to gmail and they all come through. I'm just deleting this message which has come through a few times.
I've just started getting this message in the last few days (02/19/15). I have had no problem with my accounts connecting. I have been suspecting this is a phishing attempt.
I have. I did two-step on both accounts a little while back and it did seem to go away. On January 27 though, I got three emails.
Haven't had any since but the timing did coincide I believe with when I installed Windows 10 Technical Preview on my Surface Pro 3, which would've had me messing around with the Mail app's accounts.
While two-step authentication did seem to help, I've always had a coincidence of getting the email around the rare times I mess around with the Mail metro app. I'm just speculating though. It'd be nice if someone actually looked into this.
