Windows 10: Cortana not allowing Gmail to be synced

When trying to sync my gmail calender with cortana it takes me through all the verification steps which work, then on the very last screen inside the cortana box where is asks to "allow" or "cancel" clicking allow doesn't work. It just states the same issue.


My computer is fully up to date, my calender/email are signed in and working, all permisions are on, my gmail is set to allow third-party apps, everything is done that can be. Is there any solutions out yet?

Hi Ishnar,

Thank you for being part of Windows 10.

Before we proceed, I need more information to help you better.

• Does this issue persists only with the Gmail account?
• Did you check if the issue persists by accessing your account through Outlook.com website?

I suggest you to follow the below steps to change the Mailbox sync settings.

• Open the Mail app and sign in to your account.
• Click on the gear icon (Settings) from the bottom left corner.
• Click on the Accounts under
  Settings.
• Click on your account and select Change settings.
• Click on the Change mailbox sync settings and check in the
  Sync options.

If the issue still persists then try accessing your account through Outlook.com website to isolate the problem.

Hope the above information helps. Reply with necessary information and the result to help you further.

Thank you.

 

GMAIL Won't Sync.

If you go into your Google settings, there is an option to "allow less secure apps".......turn it on........I don't know the implications of doing this, but it is the only way that I can get Gmail to sync. to W10.........Del.

 

Sync Contacts

The way I have my android phone contacts currently set up, it becomes an unmanageable mess. If I allow my phone contacts to sync with Gmail, I can end up with duplicates (quadruplicates, actually) of the same contacts, multiple phone numbers on the same line, phone numbers and notes/addresses on the same line, etc. I'm sure there a those of you out there that can relate to this.

It renders the phone list practically useless, particularly to voice calling, etc.

I don't want email address contacts in my phone list. Can I isolate a phone contact list group in Gmail, and only have that list sync with my android phone contacts?

The reason is twofold. On my computer I also maintain the "local" Contacts folder (not the "People" list) as a mirror image of my phone contacts. In order to keep the phone list and computer lists in sync, I can export the computer contacts to a .vcf file, and easily and quickly directly import the list into my phone contacts.

The obstacle with this method is that going in the other direction (phone to computer) is too inconvenient to consider if you have 400+ contacts. If I export from my phone .vcf file to the computer, when I try to import it to my computer list, It becomes a folder with individual contacts, only allowing me import "one" contact at a time.
