Fixing sync issues with Gmail and Outlook
Send/Recieve sync never finishes in Outlook 365
If you’re receiving send/receive errors in Outlook when you try to send an email from your Gmail account you need to define the Send/Receive Groups.
- Select Send/Receive from the top menu
- Dropdown Send/Receive Groups and select Define Send/Receive Groups
- Click on Edit
- Uncheck ‘Get folder unread count for subscribed folders’
- Select ‘Use the custom behaviour defined below’ for Recieve mail items (make sure only the Inbox is ticked)
