    Hi,

    I see that you are using Outlook 365. Are you getting any error messages when you click Send / Recieve > Show Progress?

    I’m eager to hear back and work together to find a solution.

    Thanks, too awesome!

    The fix for that recent issue is here:

    https://www.yourwindowsguide.com/2026/03/gmail-not-working-in-outlook.html

    See the steps below to fix Gmail in Outlook classic during Setup:

    • Press Windows + S, type Credential Manager, and open it.
    • Click Windows Credentials.
    • Scroll to Generic Credentials.
    • Find entries starting with MicrosoftOffice16_Data:OAUTH2.
    • Expand each entry.
    • Hover over MicrosoftOffice16_Data:OAUTH2 to see the full name containing tp_google_imap_Oauth2 (these are Gmail credentials).
    • Click Remove for each MicrosoftOffice16_Data:OAUTH2 entry.
    • Remove both credentials for the affected Gmail account.
    • Optional: To identify the correct Gmail account before deleting:
      • Open Registry Editor.
      • Paste this path in the address bar: Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\Identity\Identities
      • Check the Identity subkeys.
      • The number at the beginning of the identity key matches the number in the MicrosoftOffice16_Data credential.
    • After removing the credentials:
      • Open Outlook.
      • Go to the affected profile.
      • Click Sign in via browser in the Outlook notification bar.
      • Sign in to your Gmail account again.
