Can you setup Microsoft 365 Exchange and Google Workspace in the same Outlook profile
Can you setup Microsoft 365 Exchange and Google Workspace in the same Outlook profile
This is a yes and no answer.
If you want Microsoft 365 Exchange to be the default, then Google Workspace will only work if you set it up as IMAP. The calendars and contacts will not sync from Google Workspace to the Outlook profile. But you can setup a calendar and use a 3rd party syncing product such as Gsyncit to do that.
Why is this? Microsoft likes it’s own product better, so it wins.
Next up:
Can you setup Google Workspace and add a Microsoft 365 Exchange account?
Yes and no, it will work but you will have some bugs and find some challenges. Such as calendars not working, might not be able to email from the Exchange account. Pretty much, Microsoft wins again here.
Option:
Setup the Google Workspace first, then setup Microsoft 365 Exchange as IMAP. No contacts and calendar will sync, I don’t know of any products out there to sync up but Code2 might have one.
Can you have it all? No, sadly. I rework Outlook the best I can but there are always struggles with Microsoft and Google programs, and if you have a Mac, welcome to the trifecta.

Expert Microsoft Teams Trainer
Training With Lisa: Microsoft 365 Teams
You don’t want to go it alone when it comes to Microsoft Teams.
Your company has invested in this powerful tool, but without proper setup and training, it’s like you just bought a restaurant but have no idea how to cook. You can figure out how to turn on the burners, but how do you go from there to managing a functioning kitchen and serving your guests? My Teams training gets your front-of-house and back-of-house coordinated and running smoothly.
What I’ve Learned
Based on my years of working with clients, I recommend scheduling a one-hour session with the department lead in order to review your OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams configuration. Proper setup depends on your goals, and it’s critical to get this figured out before training employees.
During this initial session, I’ll prepare a list of topics to cover with each employee and then share a link to my scheduler so employees can book their own 30-minute sessions. Some people will need only a few minutes while others will want more handholding. Everyone should book a session! Sometimes people don’t know what they don’t know.
Note: If I come across technical issues with desktop synching during employee trainings, I will reach out to the department lead before starting to repair it. You will have the option to add the repair time to the invoice.
