Answer 2

To resolve the issue of Office being denied access to Google IMAP, you need to grant the necessary permissions. Here are the steps you can follow:

1. Sign in to your Google Account: Go to your Google account settings.
2. Security Settings: Navigate to the Security section.
3. Third-party apps with account access: Look for the section that shows apps that have access to your account.
4. Manage Access: Find the entry for Microsoft Office or any related app and ensure it has the necessary permissions.
5. Re-authenticate: If needed, remove the app and re-add it, which will prompt you to grant access again.
6. Enable IMAP: Ensure that IMAP is enabled in your Gmail settings (Settings > Forwarding and POP/IMAP > Enable IMAP).

After completing these steps, try connecting Office to your Google account again.
