Stupid computers. Stupid competing software companies.
Trying to get a client's Outlook to talk with GMail. I've done this a hundred times before on various versions of Outlook, T-Bird, and real mail clients, but this one's kicking my butt.
Email: clientsname@clientsdomain.com PW: XXXXXXXXX - confirmed via the web interface to GMail. IMAP enabled on the gmail settings page.
In Outlook, add an account imap.gmail.com, port 993, SSL smtp.gmail.com, port 587 or 465, SSL or TLS or Auto, tried all six combos. clientsname@clientsdomain.com, password retyped 100 times or so.
SPA Authentication tried on and off, no joy.
Always presented with a login dialog, and Outlook reports it cannot connect.
I remember there is always a weird tweak to the combination of settings to get this to work.
IIRC there's a trick to where you are supposed to add the account credentials and where you don't, and I think I've tried all the combos, although it does approach an m^n problem...
Lots of cheatsheets dated 2013 and earlier, which I suspect are out of date.
Any suggestions on what else to try?
