all google services offline/ sync not working (internet is working)

[Hanno Oostenbrink]

Hi guys, I am dumbfounded

I cant sync my google accounts ('sync is currently experiencing problems, it will be back shorly)
Google maps says 'no network connection'
Play store says 'server error'
Gmail says 'waiting for sync, your emails will appear shorly'

Sounds like my internet is broken? ITS NOT. whatsapp and opera mini, web browser is still working 100% and able to connect

I have tried:
turning sync of and on
clear the cache of various google apps
turning the phone off and on

The last action I did before it worked was to uninstall the 'microsoft outlook app'

Please, help would be much appreciated, I need to use my phone!
