• Make sure you have enabled IMAP in your Gmail account settings. To do this, go to your Gmail account settings, click on the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab, and select Enable IMAP.
• If you're using two-factor authentication (2FA) with your Gmail account, you may need to generate an App Password to use with Outlook 2013.
