Outlook group email not sending

I want to use Outlook to send group emails.  I can establish the groups and type the email, but I get an error message when I try to send that says it cannot send now, try again later ... which does not send either.  I link to gmail.   Any ideas on how to fix this? Thank you.

    Hey, had the same issue before, turned out it was Gmail blocking the send because of too many recipients or it looked like spam. Try breaking the group into smaller batches (like under 50), and also check your Gmail account for any security alerts. You might need to enable "Less secure apps" or set up an app password if you're using 2FA. Hope that helps!

      thanks roger.  I am using Outlook to send but my list does have quite a few gmail email addresses.  I logged into my gmail account but don't see where the "blocking" is happening.  I have broken down my list all the way down to one recipient and they are still rejecting.  Could it be that when I forward then enter new addresses, something else is blocking?  I have tried to start a clean email but that doesn't work either, even for one recipient.

    I have this exact problem.  Did you ever get your issue resolved?
