My outlook stop receiving emails nor can I send emails from outlook. There is no error message from Outlook stating why it's not syncing.

I've checked gmail acct, IMAP is enabled.

I've logged out of Outlook and re-link my gmail acct to outlook, didn't work.

I've uninstalled the new Outlook and set everything up, still didn't work.

This is the new Outlook version that i'm working with. It stopped working yesterday at 3:30pm. Everything was working fine then suddenly I couldn't send an email then noticed no new emails were coming in.

    Outlook just started working for us again, on most (but not all) of our Gmail accounts. We did nothing to correct this issue. Looks like Microsoft may be slowly incrementally fixing their Outlook problem.

    My NEW Outlook is working today. Syncing all my YAHOO emails, which is my main email account, but I only use Yahoo via Outlook. I like the NEW Outlook when it works!

    I had to go back to OLD Outlook (on Windows PC), resign in with Yahoo and it worked. Still works when returning to NEW Outlook. It's a SHAME New Outlook has NO WAY to add YAHOO directly but works when you add from Old Outlook. Makes absolutely no sense, but all working as it was again.

    Update: Well, now you can ADD Yahoo and other accounts from NEW Outlook, but that ability was gone for 2 days. Strange. Totally back to normal now for me.

    Paul - I am seeing the same issue with the emails prior to the malfunction, however - didn't notice that right away until your comment came through. I am hoping it is just a slow-loading issue? I can do a quick search and bring up emails from prior malfunction dates, but I have to double click on them to open and see them - they aren't showing in the view pane. May just be working from gmail going forward cuz I don't have time for this nonsense.

    Thanks Jerry! That solved my problem as well. Had uninstalled and reinstalled only on the one device originally - it's always a little scary to yes to removing from all when you're not that techno savvy. Once I removed the malfunctioning email from All devices in the Outlook Account area (it pops up with that option) and reinstalled, my email reinstalled with all the updated emails.

    Thanks for the insight!!

    Martha
