Today, my project was setting up and connecting Microsoft Outlook 2016 with my Gmail account. Here are the steps I took to get it all working.

Gmail Steps

  1. Login to Gmail.
  2. Select Settings Gear at the top right corner of the page and select “Settings“.
    Gmail-Mail-settings-option
  3. Select the “Forwarding and POP/IMAP” tab.
  4. Select “Enable IMAP“.
    Gmail enable IMAP
  5. Select any other options as desired then scroll to the bottom and select “Save Changes” when you are done.

Microsoft Outlook Steps

  1. Click the “File” menu.
  2. At the top where it says “Account Information“, click the dropdown menu.
  3. Select “Add Account…”

  4. Fill in the name as you would like to appear in your email messages, your Gmail address, and the password to your Gmail account. Select “Next” when you’re done.
    Note: If you use 2-factor authentication with your Google account, be sure to create an app password to use with Outlook.

    It will not work…after about 8 to 10 hours of working on this. Now you tell me this – Mozilla Firefox email downloaded and was set up in less than a minute without a single problem. After 8 hours with outlook, it still will not work. What doie this tell you about MS – They Are Nitwits????
