Symptoms
In Microsoft Outlook 2016 for Mac, you are repeatedly prompted for authentication while you're connected to your Office 365 account.
Cause
This issue occurs because of the presence of duplicate tokens in the keychain.
Resolution
Outlook for Mac and Gmail always worked fine until the Catalina update. Now Outlook won't sync any folders, receive or send mail. All sent mail goes to 'draft' folder and won't send. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, with no correction. When setting up Outlook, you are taken to the Google page that asks to verify your account.
To resolve this issue in Outlook 2016 for Mac, install the February 2017 Outlook update (version 15.31.0) from the following Office website:
