Hello all,
unfortunately I have a problem with the configuration of Outlook and Gmail. I have everything set up, Gmail prepared accordingly, but apparently by Windows Security a connection is blocked.
Could you please give me a guide to connect my Gmail account to Outlook?
Thank you and best regards

    This will likely not be possible with Azure due to the outbound SMTP restrictions on most subscriptions in Azure, I would use the web client if possible.

    If you want to give this a shot, you will need to make sure the needed ports are open on both the OS, and the Azure NSG. Due to the block within Azure, your best bet will be a different direction.

    I think you can use this one https://www.dummies.com/programming/networking/using-microsoft-outlook-with-gmail/ keep in mind that you will need some ports open: 993, 465 and 443
