I just got my new HP laptop today and trying to setup my email. I have a gmail account and I log in and it accepts the username and passwords, then asks to accept to have access then says "something went wrong. we're sorry, but we weren't able to do that. Error code: 0x8000000b

 

Does anyone know what this means or how to fix this?

I never use  Outlook to setup Gmail, only use  Outlook (Office suite and Windows) for Outlook.com and Hotmail.com. I use Gmail for gmail.com and I can also add yahoo mail fo gmail.

 

Hoe this helps.

 

Regards.
