You'll be taken to an identical-looking page to the beginning of Step 3. Next, click Google again on the left side.

Click 'Not Google?' in the top right - do NOT click 'Continue.' Like this.Click the (+) in the bottom right and click 'Add account.'.Open 'Preferences' in Outlook, go to 'Accounts'.This means that your Mac will clear out all data related to the account and will stop syncing it, but will not delete it from your other Apple devices. Go to your Mac's System Preferences, go to 'Accounts', and mark any google accounts you've signed into as 'Inactive' by highlighting each account and clicking the (-) sign.If you've taken the rational route and signed your accounts in via your System Preferences, unlink them with your Mac first before continuing. Okay, I know this is a long-dead thread but I found a solution that worked for me.

*If you have 2FA, make sure to create an app password This was a huge pain for me when setting up the new M1. Hope that works for whoever needs it or stumbles upon this thread.

When given the option, click 'Sync directly with Google' (NOT 'Continue').

Add Gmail account from Preferences>Account like normal.

Click the 'New Outlook' button now available.

Sign into my ICLOUD ACCOUNT* (I don’t actually use it for email, but I figured if it worked, I’d be able to use it to access the New Outlook button).

This meant signing out from the account that wasn’t compatible with the New Outlook (365 account still linked)

Sign out of all accounts in preferences.

For me, my subscription was tied to an old Microsoft service called, which didn't have New Outlook integration, and I suspected the Gmail sign-in M1 bug was happening only on the Old Outlook. I had two problems: This one, and I couldn't get the 'New Outlook' button (like in this post) even though my account had Office 365 and all that. Hey everyone, so I figured out a workaround since OP's solution didn't work for me.
