Unable to receive gmail in MS outlook












1















Here's what I see in the log files after enabling diagnostic logging in Outlook 2016:



IMAP: 02:55:21 [rx] 0c1x NO [ALERT] Please log in via your web browser: https://support.google.com/mail/accounts/answer/78754 (Failure)
IMAP: 02:55:21 [db] ERROR: "Allow less secure applications is disabled for your account.", hr=0x800CCCE6
IMAP: 02:55:21 [db] Connection to 'imap.gmail.com' closed.


And here’s a screenshot from relevant part of my google account settings, in their web interface:



enter image description here



I only have a single google account.



Is there a way to fix IMAP integration? I really dislike their web interface.



Thanks in advance!



Update: The web interface says “Use your phone to sign in: Off” and “2-Step Verification: Off”



The settings seem to be correct, and I have not changed them for years. Yesterday it stopped working out of the blue.



Outlook’s diagnostic log says it connects OK to the server, here's selected messages:



Connecting to 'imap.gmail.com' on port 993.
srv_name = "imap.gmail.com" srv_addr = 74.125.133.109:993
OK Gimap ready for requests

  • Do you have 2FA enabled? Are you using the proper settings. After you confirm the settings, if you still can’t connect, I suggest contacting Google.

  • @Ramhound The last e-mail downloaded by Outlook was 30 hours ago. The first one in 2004. I hope they don’t have hidden lifetime traffic limits…

  • It’s a certain amount of bandwidth per day. I would create a second Google account, to see if that account works, if it does I would contact Google for assistance

It would appear that Google has changed it's security measures around 3rd party applications connecting to its service.



To resolve this you will need to do the following:



Activate 2-Step Verification if not already activated




Navigate to https://myaccount.google.com in a browser and sign in using your google account details.



After signing in click "Security" tab on the left, then click 2-Step Verification and follow the instructions to configure.




Once 2-Step Verification is configured this will allow you to configure app password's via the following method:




Go to your Google Account.



On the left navigation panel, click Security.



On the Signing in to Google panel, click App passwords.



Note: If you can't get to the page, 2-Step Verification is:
Not set up for your account or is Set up for security keys only



At the bottom, click Select app and choose the app you’re using.



Click Select device and choose the device you’re using.



Click Generate.



Follow the instructions to enter the App password (the 16 character code in the yellow bar) on your device.



Click Done.




Once you have completed this you should be able to use the app password you have created to log into your gmail account in outlook. (May take 5 minutes or so before outlook accepts the password.)
