Hi there - I'm trying to use Outlook 2010 to access my Gmail account so I can read and send emails from my G mail address. but whatever I do and whatever instructions I find; I can't make it work. I was able to do this with my Spectrum.net email address in seconds but Gmail isn't happening for me. Can anyone help please?

    Are you stuck on configuring your Outlook IMAP settings for the GMail servers? https://www.slipstick.com/outlook/sync-outlook/synchronizing-outlook-google-accounts/

    Or getting Outlook to sign into the GMail servers? Outlook 2010 requires you to have Two Factor Authentication on your Google account and use an App password in Outlook. https://www.wikihow.com/Access-Gmail-in-Outlook-2010#:~:text=Download%20Article-,1,re%20using%20POP%20or%20IMAP:
