Gmail sync issues within Outlook Classic
Hi, there is a global security update that is changing the credentials for your Gmail account with Outlook Classic. You need to do two things: Here is the link on how to do it from the Microsoft site. I'd skip down to the manual fixes:
Gmail sync issues in Outlook Classic usually happen due to incorrect IMAP settings, outdated Outlook versions, or authentication problems. Make sure IMAP is enabled in your Gmail settings and that you are using the correct server details. Sometimes removing the Gmail account from Outlook and adding it again can fix the synchronization problem. Also check if two-factor authentication is enabled, as you may need to use an app password for Outlook. If the issue continues, using a professional email management or migration tool can also help ensure emails sync properly without data loss.
