Hey guys, when using web-based Outlook at Outlook.com, I had enabled this Gmail option which would place a small Gmail icon underneath my regular outlook.com email. Well, a couple of week ago I noticed it wasn't there, but there still was the "mail plus" looking icon. I clicked on that and it gave an option to connect to Gmail, but after doing so, it opens to an older looking web-based Outlook. On this older looking web-based Outlook, there is a ticker to "Try the Beta," but when I click it, it opens up the nicer looking web-based Outlook, but Gmail is gone. Does anyone know how to fix this or what might have happened?

Here is a screenshot. When I hover over the "email plus" icon, it says "Add Gmail Account". This is where it used to show a Gmail icon after connecting to Gmail, and I could check my gmail within outlook.com. Now when I click that icon, it pull up the OAuth page to connect to Gmail, then loads Gmail up on the older looking Outlook.com (2nd screenshot)

@davidmshores I've noticed exactly the same thing in the last couple of days. I can only assume Microsoft have removed support for it. I can seem to add my gmail account back in - when I try I just see empty mailbox folders from gmail.

@davidmshores so the option just turned up a couple of weeks ago. I went through the motions of adding it, and it actually worked. Not sure what caused the hiccup to begin with, but glad it's back.
