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

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.

Really? That is hard to believe.

a) If they removed this important functionality, they must have informed us. I don't see any official article about this statement.

b) Why is the option still available in the settings menu, producing an error?

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,

Hello !

I have experienced exactly the same recent days. I have synced more gmail addresses for long time without problems. Suddenly I got failure message that Outlook could not access one of my accounts ( since last Saturday ) and I was urged to go to Outlook settings , email sync to fix the access issue . But it is impossible because I get same message "unable to load this settings. Try again later " . Now I have tried again later many times over a couple of days !!

All I want to do is turn on POP so I can get the emails from my hotmail account down to outlook on my windows 10 computer.

Please fix the Sync setting that is causing the load failure or give me a way to turn on POP!!

That’s exactly all I want to do as well, just set up my Hotmail on my laptop and access though my outlook program with POP or IMAP. Anyway I’m going to just get a new email address somewhere else. Can anyone recommend a good one? Maybe yahoo or gmail?

Same problem here. I cannot access the E-mail sync settings in Outlook.com.

"Unable to load these settings. Please try again later."

I have connected multiple pop3 accounts. One of the accounts has a new password, which I can't modify :(

Hi Guys

I'm experiencing another problem and i wonder if its related to the Sync Email issue or is it a coincidence that they both started together.

I now receive the same email repeated to each Outlook alias I've created which is quite annoying.
