I have tried this and it does not work, all night it sat waiting. There must be an easier solution.
When I rang support last night they had no idea.

Hi @Molly,
Welcome to TPG Community!
We were able to locate your account using your community details and understand that you've contacted our Tech team yesterday to set your email client.
Based on the notes, the setup was successful and you were able to navigate through it.
May we know what happened and what error message did you received?
We'd like to analyze this further.
Regards,
BasilDV
I did not receive an error message the circle just kept going. I have successfuly linked my gmail account, its just tpg that is not being recognised by outlook.
Hi @Molly,
We will arrange a call from our Tech team to check on this further.
Please send me a PM with your preferred time and best number to be contacted.
