Additional Settings:
- Authentication: Use the same username and password for both incoming and outgoing servers.
- Leave a copy of messages on the server: This setting is optional, but it allows you to access your emails from multiple devices without deleting them from the server.
- Check for new messages every: Set this to a reasonable interval, such as every 15 minutes, to ensure that your emails are synced regularly.
Note: If you're using 2-Step Verification (2SV) with your Gmail account, you'll need to generate an App Password and use that instead of your regular password.
Troubleshooting Tips:
- Make sure that your Gmail account is set up to allow less secure apps to access your account. You can do this by going to your Google Account settings and enabling "Less secure app access."
- If you're still having trouble, try resetting your password or checking your account settings to ensure that everything is correct.
- If you're using a firewall or antivirus software, make sure that it's not blocking the connection to the Gmail or Outlook servers.
