Windows 10: Gmail account not showing emails and same updates as the app version

Hello,For a while, I had used an Icloud account as my main email account and decided to switch to Gmail as I preferred the way it is set up on both my Iphone and laptop. I have managed to sync my iphone app and can now access and respond to all of my emails. However, when logging into the same account via microsoft edge on my laptop, i have no emails and its as if it is a brand new account. How do I make this so that is it synced and up to date?Thanks.

Calendar app stuck on Creating account with Gmail

No, there is no email listed on Email and Accounts. (And I get the same problem when I try to add my gmail adress (or another), it connect to gmail, then ask for permission, then the windows popup "creating account" get stuck).

ps: since I use the same email to connect with edge (the one show on the screenshot above in "account used by other apps"), I removed it but it did not solve the issue.

No it isn't (it's not that easy ;-) ). Cf my last answer.

Thank you guys for your perseverance!




I guess the gmail account hasn't been completely deleted, windows or the app messed up somewhere.

email account hacked. please help

Also may I suggest you change email accounts to one of the following.....

Gmail
Outlook

The reason is they both use "Step two verification". This style of verification means even if a hacker gets your password they cannot log in to your account. You see every time someone try's to log in that hasn't been verified you will get a text or a phone call giving you a final code to log in. Its very easy and simple to setup also. The great thing is once you setup your Email application with a specific "application password" from that account you never have to log in again AND your account is protected from being logged in from foreign entities.

I like the new outlook personally however Gmail is also damn good. Gmail also has an IP tracker that allows you to see WHERE the account has been logged in from. Anyway let us know if you wanna change over and have any questions. We will be happy to help and welcome to TPU!
