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

    In New Outlook. I can't get work emails in the New Outlook. The system says, "Exchange Coming Soon" when trying to add a new email account.

    And when will Exchange get support on Outlook.com?

    In what way? Mail and Outlook will already synchronise calendar and contacts entries.

    I've been having this problem for more than a month now. And when will Exchange get support on Outlook.com? This is all very frustrating and renders Outlook.com useless.

    I think I am suffering with the same problem. I started getting duplicates of emails arriving in my outlook in recent weeks (maybe 3 times this happened), but in the last week, firstly some older "sent" items disappeared out of my sent folder. and in the last 24 hrs, older emails that were in my inbox and had been for ages (some over a year ago) have suddenly disappeared too. It is now not showing anything in my inbox since Sunday, today being Wednesday?! there were things there I still needed to action and now I have no idea where they are or how/if I can get them back.

    Like everyone else, the sync email tab in outlook doesn't work - "unable to load settings, please try again later".

    Are we all just shafted? This account has worked - very successfully I might add - for years without glitch, and the last month it has gone to pot totally.

    Is there any solution to this saga as yet?

    Sync is NO longer available in the FREE outlook.com. You have to have Microsoft 365 to have the sync option.

    As others have pointed out, the Sync Email options are not available in paid Microsoft 365 Personal/Family either.

    The Sync Email options do load on business versions of Microsoft 365, however the only options they have relate to event invitations.
