I believe the issue is Gmail and not Outlook. Have you enabled left secure access for apps on that particular Gmail account? Otherwise it blocks outlook. Also if they have two factor authentication enabled you have to get a special password for that computer. Log into the account from the web and you will probably see a message that outlook was blocked and giving you instructions on next steps.
