Problem Adding Gmail Account To Outlook

[Grahamfff 10]

Hi

 

I am trying to add my partner's gmail account to Outlook 2010 on her PC.

 

I've gone though File > Email accounts > new and entered her gmail address and password. Outlook attempts to connect to the account via an encrypted and then an unencrypted connection, but fails with both.

 

I'm certain I have got the email address and password correct (because I can login via the web) .

 

I've also tried configuring server settings manually using : https://www.bing.com/search?q=gmail+pop3+settings&form=EDGHPT&qs=LS&cvid=160166e3212f48a6b6128bbdceb7d674&refig=db940077012942b5a6b3350269a42f0f&cc=GB&setlang=en-GB&plvar=0&PC=HCTS

 

Still no luck.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks

I've been going round in circles with this same problem for months.

Have you gone into the account on a web browser and enabled it first?

 log into your Gmail account and open the Settings panel. Click on the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab and verify IMAP is enabled and save changes. Next open Outlook 2010, click on the next and go to the Add new account window.

Just follow Google's instructions. If you have 2FA enabled you need to generate a OTP (I think?) for that app.
