Additional settings

• If you're using two-factor authentication (2FA) with your Google Mail account, you may need to generate an App Password and use it instead of your regular password.
• If you're having trouble connecting to your Google Mail account, try enabling IMAP or POP in your Google Mail settings.
• You can also set up your Google Mail account to use OAuth 2.0 authentication instead of username and password. To do this, go to File > Account Settings > Account > Change > More Settings > Advanced and select OAuth 2.0.
