Additional Settings

• To enable two-factor authentication (2FA) in Gmail, go to your Google Account settings and enable 2-Step Verification.
• To allow less secure apps to access your Gmail account, go to your Google Account settings and toggle on "Less secure app access".
• To use Gmail's advanced security features, such as OAuth 2.0, you may need to use a third-party add-in or plugin for Outlook.

Tips and Considerations

• Using IMAP or POP3 may cause issues with Gmail's advanced features, such as labels and filters.
• If you're using 2FA, you may need to generate an App Password for Outlook to use.
• Some features, such as Gmail's built-in spam filtering, may not work when using Outlook.
• You may need to adjust your Outlook settings to match Gmail's settings, such as setting the default reply-to address.
