How to add Gmail account to new Outlook app on Windows 11

UPDATED 8/8/2023: The redesigned Outlook app for Windows 11 now supports Google’s Gmail service, and in this guide, you will learn how to add your Gmail account. The latest preview of the new Outlook app is available for everyone, including those using the classic desktop version through a Microsoft 365 subscription and those without a subscription using the Mail and Calendar app.

In addition to the new interface and features, the preview is also rolling out with support for third-party email services. However, initially, Microsoft is only enabling support for Gmail and Yahoo accounts, giving you access to calendars and contacts from the new Outlook interface.

Alongside the ability to add Gmail accounts and first-party accounts from Microsoft, whether they be work, school, or personal, the company says that support for Apple iCloud and the ability to add accounts through IMAP will come “soon.”

This guide will teach you the steps to add a Gmail account to the new Outlook experience for Windows 11. The instructions will also work for Windows 10.
