Recently, Microsoft announced a new update to the preview version of Outlook for Windows 11, which finally introduced support for third-party Gmail accounts.
The preview version of the redesigned Outlook app is available for everyone to try, including users on the classic desktop version of the app through a Microsoft 365 subscription and those without a subscription using the Mail and Calendar app. In addition, the preview also gives access to Google Calendar and Contacts from the new Outlook interface.
You can add a Gmail account to Microsoft Outlook, and manage it in Outlook, you can view and manage all of your emails in one place.
As Microsoft is rolling out the feature slowly that means not everyone will have access to add Gmail accounts to the new experience. If the settings page reads “Add all your Microsoft 365 accounts,” then you don’t have access to add third-party accounts but, if the settings page reads “Add all email accounts,” then you will able to connect your Gmail account.
