Configuring preferences and options in Outlook.com
Did you use the Outlook app on your Phone or a browser?
For me neither is working.
This browser is no longer supported.
Upgrade to Microsoft Edge to take advantage of the latest features, security updates, and technical support.
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.

The ONLY change I made was to create another email ****@outlook.com and made that email my primary alias. A few days later, I tried to "sync email" and was able to access it on my laptop at Outlook.live.com. This doesn't change any login info because the app allows both emails to be used for that. So essentially, the email that I just created is sitting dormant. I'm thinking it takes some time for this process to filter into effect, in my case several days.
I know it's early days, but I added a new Outlook email alias and made it the primary email alias 2 hours ago, but the sync email settings still do not load.
I shall monitor over the coming days.
Mine is randomly working again on my laptop. I didn't do anything. Good luck, all!
I used both the browser outlook.com as well as Outlook Desktop.
