setting up gmail in outlook 2016 for mac

I hope that helps, if anyone is still struggling with this. I also tested it with an alternate gmail account, not the one I had used to sign into the browser with, and it also worked on the first try using Chrome. B seems like the most likely reason but for me this is also a very recent install I've only had the M1 since this past Thursday. I don't know if the real solution was either a) the fact that it was Chrome, b) that it was a completely fresh install so there were no potential cache or cookie related issues to get in the way. Setting a root folder for your Gmail account To make the change, you’ll have to go to the Advanced Settings tab of your account configuration Open your Account Settings dialog File-> section Info-> button Account Settings-> Account Settings-> tab E-mail Double click on your Gmail IMAP account to open the account settings. I went through immediately and was added to Outlook. Once I was signed into the browser with the gmail account I intended to use, I set Chrome as default and tried adding it again to Outlook. After that, just complete the following: Go to Settings and then View all Outlook settings Sync email in. I had been using Safari as well as the new Chromium Edge for the authentication, but when neither of those would work, I decided to download and install regular Chrome and try it there. The Authenticate pop up:' Google - We need to launch a browser so you can sign in to xxxxxxgmail,com' with the 'Sign in to Google' button reappears. I was running into the same issue today and managed to find a fix that worked instantaneously once I tried it.
