Additional tips:
- Make sure you have 2-factor authentication (2FA) enabled on your Gmail account, as this can cause issues with Outlook's connection.
- If you're using 2FA, you may need to generate an App Password and use that instead of your regular password.
- You may need to configure your Gmail account settings to allow Outlook to access your account. You can do this by going to your Google Account settings > Forwarding and POP/IMAP > Enable IMAP or POP.
