I changed my Gmail login password and now classic Outlook will not allow me to connect via my browser to pull in the gmail emails. I get this message: 

You have denied Office access to Google - IMAP.

Please grant Office access to Google - IMAP and try again.

    Hi!

    Since you changed your password, you need to disconnect and reconnect your Gmail account in Outlook. You mentioned that you cannot log in via the browser (OAuth), so the browser you are using might be blocking the login as well.

    Which browser do you use? I recommend disconnecting and reconnecting the account in the browser first to update the access credentials.

    Then try logging in again using the browser.
