Setting up Outlook with Google Mail and allowing Less Secure Apps

If you want to set up Outlook with your Google Mail account, you will want to check out this article: https://support.google.com/mail/topic/3398031?hl=en&authuser=1

If you are having trouble with signing-in with your Outlook Email Client, then this article is an absolute must: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/14257?hl=en&ref_topic=3397962

It basically points you to a setting that Google Mail uses which prevents "less secure" clients from accessing Google Mail by default: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255



Therefore, you need to go into this setting for your Google account and allow "Access for less secure apps": https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps






Once you turn on this setting, you should then be able to access your Google Mail using your Outlook email client!!
