Google Workspace Setup Guide

Common Problems & Solutions

Check these items before contacting IT.

Invalid username or password

First test the account at Gmail.com. If Gmail works, remove and re-add the account using Google sign-in.

Outlook keeps asking for a password

Re-add the account using Outlook's Google sign-in flow rather than generic IMAP setup.

Two-Step Verification appears

Complete the verification method shown by Google. This is a normal security check.

Old emails are missing

After a migration, older or recent messages may still be transferring. Contact IT rather than recreating the account repeatedly.

Android asks for a Work Profile

Your company may be using mobile-device management. Follow the on-screen instructions.

My address does not end in @gmail.com

That is normal. Google Workspace can host email for your company's own domain.
