Outlook Meeting Invites Not Showing in Inbox After Accepting
Outlook Meeting Invites Not Showing in Inbox After Accepting
Client called with this odd problem. Never seen it before and so I did some research and I found this wsa solved by a contributor in the Microsoft Forums. As I’m an active contributor as well, I like to share answers. Here is her answer and it did work for my client. I actually changed his view by going to the reading pane and changed it from right side to bottom and that did it, it’s the same as what Kim said pretty much.
“In my email, the view setting was set to compact. For some reason, compact view would not allow meeting invites to show up in my email, only via Teams app. Resetting my view setting in my inbox fixed the issue”

Tech Support for Retired Business Executives
Tech Support for Retired Business Executives
My name is Lisa Hendrickson and I’m an experienced 30 year veteran supporting corporate, small business and work from home end users. Since I run my own business, I have the advantage of exploring learning everything that comes my way. Most of my wizardary comes from clients requesting things I didn’t think I could make happen, so I learned how to use all the main platforms, get them to synch, learn what doesn’t work and configure sytems for just about anyone. Guess who loves my support the most? You. The retired business executive (RBE). Most of you have been using Outlook since it was launched in the 1990’s and now continue to want to use it for your personal life. Being a RBE, you want to get up in the morning and sit at your computer and do your morning email catching up, you want to view your calendar, add appointments and still continue your usual routine of what you used to do, manage your day. The flexibility of leaving and having it all on your phone is how it should be.
In the past few years, I have noticed more RBE’s calling, they want what they had in corporate, a seamless perfect setup for their Outlook/computers to sync with their phones. Email, contacts, calendar, tasks, notes and data from their computer. All RBE’s have different emails, too many emails, confusing contacts on their phones, want shared family iCloud calendars, Gmail, Yahoo, AOL, you know it, I’ve seen it all.
They also want a reliable person to call when they have issues, and that’s where I come in. I can help configure everything how you want it and then offer on-going support for the future. Not many businesses offer the services and support I have.
Below is a list of services most of my RBE’s call for and then what they want support with in the future

- Setup Outlook to sync with phone
- Clean up old accounts that you don’t need

How to add a Gmail account in New Outlook
How to add a Gmail account in New Outlook
There are two ways to add Gmail accounts in New Outlook. New Outlook is a more like a “skin” of the cloud working off your desktop, it will connect through the cloud. You cannot add accounts through control panel anymore. If you are Googling for an answer and want to know why it’s not working for you, I have some tips at the bottom of this message on most likely reasons.
#1
- In the left folder pane, at the bottom is “add account” and then a window pops up and you can type in your Gmail address.
- You will see “Sync your Gmail account” next, and hit “continue” at the bottom of the window
- This next step is tricky. Many of you have multiple Gmail accounts, so be sure you are logged into the default browser with the email you are trying to add.
- You might see a window asking you to chose which account. Log into the one you’re trying to setup.
- Once logged in, you will a window to “Sign in to Microsoft apps & services”, hit “continue”
- Next you will see “Microsoft apps & services wants additional access to your Google Account” and select all the boxes and hit continue.
- Next, the account should add to your New Outlook. You will see a “Success” message.
Take note: New Outlook will sync all contacts and calendars from any Gmail or Google Workspace account. This is by far my favorite feature of New Outlook (vs Classic Outlook, which cannot sync any Google natively)
#2
- Cick on the gears in the upper right corner of New Outlook
- In settings, click on “Accounts” on the left side of the window
- Click on “Add account” on the right side
- Follow instructions above.
Issues you might experience:
- If you have a personal Microsoft account with the same email as your gmail, you will have an issue. Microsoft will setup their accounts first and that will setup, but your inbox and everything will be most likely empty.
- If you are having issues with missing data (folders, calendar, contacts) from your classic Outlook (IMAP, PST, etc).
- If you have iCloud login with a Gmail address, you won’t be able to log in with your iCloud to sync that data. You will need to change your apple ID to a icloud.com account, not gmail.
- Reminder to be logged into the Gmail account in the browser, this will make it easier.
I can help migrate that data over for you so you can use the New Outlook. Use the form below to get in contact.
