If you don’t use two-factor authentication, and Outlook won’t connect to your Gmail account after entering your regular password, then you’ll likely need to change a setting that allows less secure apps to connect to your Google account. In the Signing in to Google section, click on: 2-Step Verification. This can be done by visiting: From the Navigation Pane on the left, click on: Security. Note: If you use two-factor authentication on your Gmail account (and you really should), then you’ll need to set up a specific app password for Outlook to connect to your Gmail account (check out that page for several troubleshooting tips for connecting Outlook to Gmail). First, enable 2-Step Verification for your Google Accounts: Logon to Google and open your Account Settings page. Type in the password for your Gmail account and then click “Connect”. Type in your Gmail address and click “Connect”. In the Account Settings window menu, click “New…” On the dropdown menu, click the “Account Settings” option. Step Two: Connect Outlook To Your Gmail AccountĪfter setting Gmail up to allow IMAP connections, Outlook makes it very easy to add your Gmail account. Now, it’s time to connect your Gmail account to Outlook. First, I had to set up / turn on my 2 step verification. I did NOT have the option of App Passwords in step no. Choose Manual setup or additional server types Manually Configure Click Next. That’s all you have to on the Gmail end of things. By no means an expert, but I have a similar setup to yours and I did manage to set up everything, using the above steps, but also having to take certain extra steps to get there. Select the File menu and choose Info Add Account Click the Add Account button.
