• Make sure that your Google Mail account is set to allow less secure apps to access your account. You can do this by going to your Google Account settings and enabling the "Less secure app access" option.
• If you're using IMAP, make sure that your Google Mail account is set to use IMAP. You can do this by going to your Google Account settings and enabling the "IMAP Access" option.
• If you're having trouble sending emails from your Google Mail account in Outlook, try setting the "Outgoing server" to "smtp.gmail.com" and the "Port" to 587.
