[Trainer-Talk] Changes to MSOutlook 2016

[Tech Center]

I use this app from Google, Google Sync tool, expressly made to setup
calendar, contacts, email all at once for Outlook. Not sure it work the
same for a free G Suite account but worth trying. Super easy.

If you don't ever see a seperate webpage from Google while setting up in
Outlook 2016 then its not going through the new improved OAuth mechanism
(at least is something like that). Which is to say you'd need that old
fashion "less secure way enabled" if you can you want the new way. that
way if you change you password you don't have to re-login everything you
own.
