Outlook mails are not going to our Gmail Inbox, but why?
Microsoft users have seen their mails being marked suspicious on Gmail for some reason but why could it be? Read here for more details.
Outlook and Gmail are rivals in some ways but even then most people tend to send mail to Gmail from Outlook and vice versa. But recently, users have complained that their Outlook mails were not making their way to the Gmail inbox of the receivers.
In fact, these Outlook mails seem to have landed in the Spam folder which most people don’t check. Microsoft has confirmed the issue faced by its users and it has released a post that tries to tell us the reason for this unique issue. The company has mentioned that the mail blocking issue seems to be affecting users with Outlook.com country domains.
Outlook Mails Blocked By Gmail: What Is The Reason
Reports claim the Outlook users are getting a message from Gmail servers which points out their mails are suspicious and that is why it is not reaching the Gmail inbox of the receiver. Google’s support team feels the issue is linked to some part of the mails and that’s the reason why the mails are being blocked with the suspicion tag.
Gmail feels that the mail blocking could be linked to its recent changes in the bulk sending policy, and it has advised Microsoft to change the mailing parameters to allow the Outlook mails to pass through without any restrictions. But what can Outlook users do to stop this problem and is there any short-term fix for the issue?
Well, Microsoft has shared its advice to fix the blocking for its users which will make sure their mails reach the Gmail inbox. The company says you should add an alias to your existing Outlook.com account and send the mail using this alias to bypass the blocking issue. The process to add an alias is simple in Outlook, for which you just need the Microsoft account.
Now, in the Add an Alias section, Outlook will ask you to add another Outlook.com email ID to proceed further and finish the steps to start sending mails without any hiccups. We are hoping that Microsoft can fix the original issue at the earliest so that people don’t need to find alternative ways to send mails.
