Hi,
Since yesterday (24-01-2024) Gmail app won't sync with my Hotmail account. This email account is my default one, and syncs email, calendar and contacts.
Tried to remove account from devices, restart and add account again (manual configuration).
Server is defined as "m.hotmail.com", port "443", Security "SSL/TLS"
It as two options to proceed:
-"Next" - returns a information to check account data or change to modern authentication
-"modern authentication" - tries to sign on a google page (https://enterprise.google.co./exchangeoauth2rediret...) and returns a message "Can't add your personal email".
This happens both in a basic tablet with android 10 and in a Redmi Note 9 Pro (running stock Miui on Android 12)
What could be causing this? any help tp solve?
Thanks
Using Outlook for Android in business environments for email and scheduling
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
What a shame, every couple of days I have to delete and recreate both the Tiscali IMAP and the Gmail mailbox because they keep saying bad password or Auth fail. Resetting does not work either. As soon as I recreate the accounts they immediately start working. For just a couple of days. That's so frustrating ...
I am using the Gmail app on a Samsung S10e. I currently have version 2024.02.04.604829058.
I have also been having authentication problems with my outlook.com account for the last few weeks. I just added the same account using a different email alias, following the steps here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/set-up-email-in-android-email-app-71147974-7aca-491b-978a-ab15e360434c
In initial testing, the newly-set-up account is working OK to synchronise email and calendar.
However, the news in https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/outlook-and-other-apps-are-unable-to-connect-to-outlook-com-when-using-basic-authentication-f4202ebf-89c6-4a8a-bec3-3d60cf7deaef is quite disturbing. It appears that MS will stop supporting Basic authentication against outlook.com email (even using an app password, I assume). But it looks like the replacement (Oauth authentication) will only support POP and IMAP protocols. Thus, third-party email apps - even if they support Oauth - will not be able to synchronise calendar and contact info.
This is a serious loss of functionality! Can anyone at Microsoft speak about whether there will be a way to synchronise calendar and contacts on an Android device using the built-in (Gmail) technology?
Thanks for responding.. I can't get modern authentication to work because it fails to find the server which suggests the server details (URL) are wrong for exchange. But agree there is a problem on Google's side too. You would think Microsoft and Google would know about all of this and actually work together to fix this. I get that there is a move a foot to move everyone to better security.. so make it public, set out a timeframe and have the software ready to go so people can make the changes, rather than skulk about in the dark behind the scenes, break stuff and then stay silent so they can blame each other! 🤬
No, this is an error I get after trying oauth2 in Google Mail app.
Sorry.. but that doesn't seem to work as a link. Is it a link to a Google help page or something, if so can you repost?
