Tips and considerations

• Make sure you have 2-factor authentication (2FA) enabled on your Gmail account. If you don't have 2FA enabled, you may need to generate an App Password to use with Outlook.
• If you're using 2FA, you'll need to generate an App Password and use it instead of your regular Gmail password.
• You may need to configure your Outlook account to use the correct port numbers for IMAP and SMTP. The default port numbers are 993 (IMAP) and 587 (SMTP), but you may need to adjust these depending on your network or ISP.
• If you're experiencing issues with syncing, try restarting Outlook or checking your Gmail account settings to ensure that IMAP is enabled.

By following these steps, you should be able to sync your Outlook with your Gmail account.
