I am using the free version of Outlook.com and followed the forums and help how to set up a GMail sync to Outlook.com.

However since two days I got this clicking on the "Sync Email" menu.

Even the X button on the upper right corner does not operates when being in this menu.

I tried this menu in browsers like Edge, Internet Explorer, Chrome, Opera.

All the same results.

Questions:

  1. can I use Gmail sync using free version of Outlook.com?
  2. do you know this

Outlook | Web | Outlook.com | Settings

    This page ( Sync mail ) should show POP3 and IMAP infomation that is nothing related to Gmail.

    And it has already broken more then 24hrs ( it is 20 Feb so it is almost a week )

    Both my computer in Office and Home not work. So don't ask me to change network. It still broken even using a VPN.

    It is broken on Edge Firefox and Chrome so don't ask me to change browser.

    please don't c&p useless and create a bug to your engineer/team.

    For the last to days, I'm experiencing the same problem. I understand you cant add a connected account anymore, but there were other features associated with this section "Sync Email" such as setting the default "FROM" email address and selecting which email address to be shown when sending emails from your primary email account in Outlook.com.

    If this section "Sync Email" has been made redundant, then why hasnt it been removed or marked accordingly?

    Please can sombody advise us how to set default FROM email address in Outlook.com

    I was worried that it was deprecated too because I do not have the ability to update the password of a connected account. So, I receive a daily email informing me to update my credentials.
