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

    Thanks, Ron; however, I need access to the "Sync email" panel in order to enable IMAP.

    I think I'll be cancelling my M365 subscription at the end of the month. If I can't configure IMAP, I need to move somewhere else.

    There is a major problem with Outlook.com and emails (not Exchange, the web).

    First, emails I sent out were never delivered. They appeared in the Sent folder but were not delivered to the destination.

    This does now work, but the non-delivered emails were nver sent.

    At the same time, I started getting the message:

    Unable to load these settings. Please try again later

    on the sync email page.

    As mentioned here, I cannot even vlose that page. I have to navigate to a different page.

    I have made NO recent changes at all.

    This is a Microsoft server error.

    Is it being fixed?

    Why does the page: https://portal.office.com/servicestatus sya Outlook.com is working fully, when it clearly is not?

    Same issue here, very annoying. Is there a workaround to set POP to open?

    Any luck with that? I'm having the same issue, including that I can't sync my email account on any other application besides Windows Mail.
