1 Recommended Answer 119 Replies 449 Upvotes Access to Gmail via Outlook 2016 has been working great up to last Friday. I'm not getting prompts to 2-factor authenticate every few minutes. When adding the details in each time and providing Microsoft app and services access it goes through this loop twice before it's happy for a few more minutes. Emails are being received and sent successfully when testing.
Have tried the following steps:
Deleting the local OST file and allowing it to re-generate (synchronise)
created a new app password (https://support.google.com/mail/answer/185833?hl=en)
removed account and then re-added account details back in with app password.
Help or other suggestions gladly received!!!

I have managed to resolve the issue. It is ridiculous but worked for all my Gmail accounts. In your mail settings you need to change the "imap.gmail.com" and "smtp.gmail.com" to "imap.googlemail.com" and "smtp.googlemail.com" Looks like they changed it recently.
I also enabled 2 step verification with an Outlook app password in my gmail but I'm not sure if this is necessary to fix the pop up issue.
Hope this works for you all :-)

Also having same issue. It's never done this before and at this time there is no customer support phone number to call. Hoping to have this resolved.

Guys
Have had the same issue intermittently for a while now. Just found this and went off to try but when I try to edit my Outlook accounts I get 'an unknown error occurred, error code 0x80040102.
Is this Outlook or Gmail sync?
Please advise any ideas on how to fix.
