Additional settings

After adding your Gmail account to Outlook, you may need to adjust some additional settings to get everything working smoothly. Here are a few things to check:

• Make sure that your Gmail account is set to allow less secure apps to access your account. You can do this by going to your Google Account settings and looking for the "Less secure app access" setting.
• If you're using 2-Step Verification, make sure that you've generated an App Password and entered it correctly in Outlook.
• If you're having trouble sending emails, try setting the Outgoing mail server to "smtp.gmail.com" and the Port to "587".
• If you're having trouble receiving emails, try setting the Incoming mail server to "pop.gmail.com" and the Port to "995".
