Answer 1

Hello, Peter Benson.

I would like to point out right away that Gmail is a third-party service (Google), not Microsoft. Take a look at this help from Google*****: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/7682439?hl=en&sjid=4479785063705378602-EU

It is possible that the information will be useful and will help solve the problem.

Thoroughly research any product advertised on the site before you decide to download and install it.

Answer 2

If you have forgotten your Gmail password, you will need to reset it. You can do this by following these steps:

1. Go to the Gmail sign-in page.
2. Click on "Forgot password?".
3. Follow the prompts to verify your identity and reset your password.

Once you have reset your password, you can use the new password for IMAP and POP3 access. Make sure to update any applications or devices that were using the old password with the new one.

If you are using an application that requires an app password (for example, if you have 2-step verification enabled), you will need to generate a new app password after resetting your Gmail password.
