Re: Had a message on my mobile saying that Gmail and OUTLOOK WILL BE UN AVAILABLE
Which model samsung galaxy, and what Android version?
Update - after a bit of searching, it's as Mr M said earlier - they are just bringing in tighter verification/security, so as long as people have the latest version of the app on their phone/tablet, there shouldn't be an issue...

“To help keep Outlook personal email accounts secure, starting September 16, 2024, Microsoft will no longer support Basic Auth, the method in which a person provides only their username and password to sign into their account,” Microsoft said on its website. “As of September 16, 2024, Outlook will require that all those with a Microsoft email account use a mail or calendar app or the Outlook.com website which supports modern auth, such as the latest versions of Outlook, Apple Mail, or Thunderbird.”
Though it looks as though Microsoft won’t force you to use two-factor authentication via SMS or authenticator app, you will have to use a version of Outlook that has ‘modern auth’ technology behind the scenes. The firm says this includes “the free Outlook apps for iOS, Android, Outlook for Mac, or Outlook for Windows.”

If that weren’t enough, another change is coming even sooner that could affect the way you use Outlook. Though we suspect not everyone uses Outlook to access their Gmail account - Microsoft software accessing Google account emails - if you do use Outlook.com for that, you won’t be able to come 30 June.
The tech giant said you can still login to your Gmail inbox using the Outlook for Windows or Outlook for Mac apps.
