Exchange Account Setup in Gmail Broken

Hi. I own an Android smartphone and have setup access to my Outlook email via the 'Exchange and Office 365' settings in the Gmail app as I prefer to keep my accounts on one app for convenience (also have the Exchange Services app installed). Unfortunately, this functionality seems to have broken around about the time that Google pushed out their most recent app update. I've tried setting up using the servers 'm.outlook.com', 'm.hotmail.com' and 'eas.outlook.com', all of which 'work' in that the initial setup completes but email and calendar sync never actually happens and I get a flag from Google saying to contact IT Admin instead. Has anyone else who accesses their Outlook via Gmail had this problem? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    Installing an older version of GMail fixed the problem for me.

    Just get the GMail apk from September 27 here:

    https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/gmail/

    Then make sure that automatic updates are disabled for GMail in the Play Store App.

    Sure, it goes! So, latest functional build is

    Gmail 2019.09.15.270135155.release

    Thanks for helping me!

    Ok, then it is different for you. I got a popup asking me to update my security, I updated with the button in this popup of Gmail and after that I accepted the changes and it all worked.

    I had the same problem after an update this night.

    I resolved it by deleting all updates, than i redo the exchange configuration, and i allowed again all authorizations.

    Hello, what did you put in the exchange configuration to make it working? I have .live email and if I use eas.outlook.com in the server field I get an error.

    Thanks a lot!
