Users are informed of the fact that Outlook, by itself, is not an email service provider by itself but a mail client which when configured with any other mail accounts can synch well with the account, and allow users to use all of its features. The usage of Outlook has increased in the recent past specifically for business mail accounts as they need to have access to their mail content even in an offline mode. And more importantly, they would require using the various functionalities provided by Outlook such as setting up meetings, appointments, blocking calendars of the attendants of the meeting, scheduling and planning the tasks at hand and so on.

Therefore, it is a common practice for users to configure their Gmail account with Outlook so as to use all the features offered by Outlook. However, in doing so, users have many a problem related to the integration process. A few of the common issues faced by users are mentioned below for reference:-

a) Configuration issues – The configuration of Gmail into Outlook is exceedingly simple wherein they need to launch the Outlook app, and then mention the complete mail address of their Gmail account. This would automatically link the Outlook to the Gmail account, and then users are required to produce the account user name and password. But, there are times when the Outlook app is not able to connect to the Gmail server due to some technical faults giving rise to errors in configuration.

b) Problems in launching Outlook – This is a common issue which is related to the data file stored internally to the system. When users launch the Outlook application, the data file stored in the system is referred and the mail box is restored with the previously saved information. So, any problems with the data file such as the file getting deleted, corrupt etc. would cause issues in Outlook

c) Access issues with the connecting Gmail account–Since Outlook is connected to the Gmail account, therefore any problems related to Gmail account such as the account getting blocked, password expiry etc. would cause the same problems in Outlook as well. Users are then required to recover their Gmail account, and then launch Outlook with the correct credentials.

There are other issues as well, all of which come under the purview of the Gmail customer technical support team who takes care of all such connectivity issues. The team can be reached across any of their support platforms such as the toll free support number, mail, chat or via the online help forum.
