Random numbers outlook address - gmail emails not show (website) - old my avatar photo (google acc)
Hi Makezu,
To remove the weird outlook random number address:
- Go to https://account.live.com/names/Manage.
- Make sure your main account is the primary account.
- Remove any bad or broken aliases.
- Go back to Outlook and try adding the account again.
If you still have problems, you can try setting up your account manually as an IMAP or POP account in Outlook.
Once you have removed the weird outlook random number address, you should be able to see your gmail address emails on Outlook (website).
To fix the wrong Google picture issue:
- Go to https://myaccount.google.com/profile.
- Click on the "Change" button next to your profile picture.
- Select a new profile picture or upload your own.
- Click on the "Save" button.
It may take some time for the new profile picture to show up in Outlook.

I removed other ones alias, also i can't currently add more alias, (well thats not matters..) yet maybe after week what i found reddit page you can add 2 per week, 10 per year.. but i got rid of it that weird number outlook address atleast but now came new issue I still see address what i put alias after that removed that and put gmail primary but that is still show my profile when i go outlook. (I did that yesterday)
I heard also its not possible add gmails emails to show web version after 2021 (tried syncing, nothing happened..) also i can send and get emails with that outlook address but when i try log in with that then it say that account not existed..
also that account profile photo looks like i fixed it remove my contact on gmail but looks like outlook app on iOS not support third party email services show that to other people. Only outlook/microsoft account profile photos show.
- now that alias address removed what i added manually, but now it show again that weird number.. how i can fix that? when use microsoft website it show my gmail address fine..
