Unable to send emails from professional email id (made using cloudflare) from outlook

What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?

I created a professional email id using cloudflare and linked it to my personal gmail id. I am able to send and receive emails on my professional id in my personal gmail id. Then, I logged into outlook (new) using my professional email id with gmail imap settings. In outlook app, I am only able to receive emails but not able to send any. During login, I used gmail imap setting where incoming server was imap.gmail.com with port 993 and encryption ssl/tls and outgoing server was smtp.gmail.com with port 587 and encryption strtls. It was asking me smtp username and password where I put in my personal gmail id and password. It was also asking me another password where I put the app password generated in gmail.

Now, whenever I am sending an email, it is telling me that it could not deliver email. I have attached a screenshot for your better understanding.

Hopefully, someone can help me, thanks.

I tried sending an email but everytime I tried, it didn’t deliver and showed me could not deliver. If there are problems with my login process or if i need to change sosme dns settings in my cloudflare acoount, I am all ears.

Why exactly are you trying to send through Gmail, when you are using Outlook?

The error under “Technical details” of your image says that to use Gmail in the way you’re trying to do, you need to create an application specific password, and use that instead of your account password.

You do have two SPF (type TXT) records, which is not allowed:

gncexports.com.         300     IN      TXT     "v=spf1 include:_spf.mlsend.com include:_spf.mx.cloudflare.net ~all"
gncexports.com.         300     IN      TXT     "v=spf1 include:_spf.mx.cloudflare.net ~all"

It seems like you’re trying to mix multiple providers together, which will never give an easy (if even possible) solution.

Make up your mind, and choose either Gmail, OR Outlook.

If you then need to run any of them using your own domain name, the options you have are the paid Google Workspace, OR the paid Office 365.
