Troubleshooting tips
- If you're having trouble adding your Gmail account, make sure that your account is set up correctly and that you're using the correct login credentials.
- If you're using two-factor authentication (2FA) with your Gmail account, you may need to generate an app password and use that instead of your regular password.
- If you're still having issues, try restarting the Mail or Outlook app and then try adding your Gmail account again.
