Greg, thanks for the reply. I wish I could connect directly to Gmail, however the company I am consulting to won't allow that, hence this kludge approach.
So, then what is the point of using Outlook then? This makes no sense whatsoever. I switched over the other accounts I directly control to Exchange (I like the instantaneous receives but not the fact I can have a single inbox like with POP3).
And BTW, this has been communicated badly and I mean bad. There was no communication and what the ramifications are. There is absolutely no communication that you will loose Outlook for Windows support in October. Only it is being trumpeted to turn on modern authentication.
And to rub salt into the wound, your communications are late. I got a Admin notification this morning that POP3 was being disable to two days. It is the 23rd AND it said starting the 20th. You guys can do better than that or did you steal the playbook from Google on how to PO the customers off that they will switch to someone else?
