[nfbcs] Connecting a gmail e-mail account to Outlook 2016

[Steve Jacobson]

The link you posted is the link I found and was the reason I opted to lower
the security level.  However, I think Curtis was saying that there is
another link that he could follow that would allow him to connect.  I must
admit that I was very frustrated with this process because what happens is
that if you are using a what Google determines is a less secure application,
it gives you an incorrect password error even if the password is correct.  I
spent a bunch of time trying to figure out if my password was truly
incorrect only to find that the error had nothing to do with the password.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

Louis,

Google thinks that if it is not Google it is insecure.  There is an option
in the Gmail preferences that lets you make your account available to less
secure clients and such.  If you look through your mail options on the GMAIL
website you will find them, but if you can't I will try to be more specific.
I had to deal with this a couple of months ago.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

Folks,

I am trying to connect a gmail e-mail account to my Outlook 2016 e-mail
client.  My internet provider is AT&T, and my e-mail domain is swbell.net.
Google insists that my client is insecure.  My Outlook 2016 e-mail settings
are:

Incoming = imap.gmail.com
Port = 993
Requires SSL = Yes

Outgoing = smtp.gmail.com
Port = 465 or 587
Requires SSL = Yes
Requires Authentication = Yes
Same settings as incoming



Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards
Louis Maher
