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

    Mine also worked today. Bizarre, but good to stop these daily reminder emails!

    I've been able to access the Sync Email settings today for the first time in months. As I've already cancelled my 365 account and migrated to Gmail, I just wanted to delete the connected accounts to stop the daily error messages from Outlook.

    Once I deleted the accounts, the option to retrieve email in the same way from other accounts was gone too so I'm guessing that Outlook is removing that option. I haven't experimented with Aliases as I've moved on. Just happy that I can finally do the housekeeping on my Outlook account.

    ReynaldoB,

    Is not longer available also to check POP3 mails?

    I have a pop3-smtp account (not a Gmail) that I would like to check from Outlook.com. Is this feature still available?

    Why I am also having the same error?

    Thank you!

    Hello Mihály Barosi!

    Welcome to the Microsoft Office Community Forum. Thank you for sharing your concern with us today and we hope that all is well.

    I totally understand that you have concern about your Outlook.com wherein the sync email option is blank. Let's us check on this together and sort this out. Rest assured, I will do anything that I can to assist you with your concern.

    Based on your description, the reason why your sync email option is blank might be because there's a problem on the server. You may observe the behavior by trying again after 24 hours or by using other network for the internet.

    Now here's my to answer your questions;

    With synchronizing your Gmail to Outlook.com, this is the same with connected accounts on Outlook.com, this option is no longer available on Outlook.com. Microsoft has removed this option since May 10, 2021. In order for you to sync your Gmail account to Outlook is you will need to use the Outlook mail application to access you emails from Gmail. Please refer to this article here for more information. Add your other email accounts to Outlook.com (microsoft.com)

    Hope it helps. I look forward to your response.

    Sincerely,

    ReynaldoB
