Outlook.com "Sync Email" settings - "Unable to load these settings. Please try again later."

Anonymous

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:

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

Pop is the only protocol that has to be turned on.

The SMTP server is now given as "SMTP server name smtp-mail.outlook.com"

This was smtp.live.com for many years and was withdrawn without any notice that I was aware of.

It just started rejecting connections.

smtp-mail.outlook.com does work.

The sync email pane is still not working as of 23-Feb 14:20 GMT

Ron, do you have any comment on the Microsoft status page still saying "Everything is up and running." when it clearly it is not?
