Got a sync error with Outlook vs. Google/gmail -

Both Outlook and gmail are a pain in whatever body part for me - both "disappear" messages while I'm typing them, can't find Contacts with gmail, whatever whatever.

Years ago Outlook Express (free) was wonderful. Now paying for Outlook and it's a p.o.s.

Anyway, today sending in Outlook, got an error message (who knows from whom/OUtlook/gmail) telling me to sign into gmail for smtwhatever whatever. Nothing worked.

I had to Copy the content out of the Outlook error window and Paste it into a new gmail and it went out. Got multiple Alerts from gmail that somebody had been trying to sign-in to my gmail. Whatever.

**********What has worked for me to find solutions is to Google. Asking "Help" anywhere doesn't seem to be worth crap.

They changed their setup recently.
