Adding gmail addresse in Outlook 2016

I found how to delete these ost files.

There were not associated in the list of mail accounts, but a folder was created in outlook. I closed these folders and then I could delete these files permanently.

Anyway, it doesn't change anything to my problem :

- If I try to create a gmail account automatically, an error message tells me that connecting to the server is impossible and asks me to try creating the account manually.

- If I then try to create it manually , using the the ports mentionned in Google help (993 with imap.gmail.com SSL/TLS and 587 with STARTTLS smtp.gmail.com) and linking it to Outlook_New.pst, it does not work either and an extra OST file is created :

"Connexion au serveur de courrier entrant (IMAP): Votre compte requiert un mot de passe spécifique de l’application pour vous connecter." :

(Incoming mail server login (IMAP): Your account requires an app-specific password to login.)

"Envoyer un courrier de test: Nous ne pouvons pas envoyer le message. Vérifiez l’adresse de courrier dans les propriétés de votre compte. Réponse du serveur : 530 5.7.0 https://support.google.com/mail/?p=WantAuthError q9-20020adff789000000b00313e2abfb8dsm9571047wrp.92 - gsmtp" :

(Send test mail: We cannot send the message. Check the email address in your account properties. Server Response: 530 5.7.0 https://support.google.com/mail/?p=WantAuthError q9-20020adff789000000b00313e2abfb8dsm9571047wrp.92 - gsmtp)

The mail address is correct and the password as well 😞

Despite these error messages an account is added in Outlook list of account but is linked to a newly created  mailto:email address removed for privacy reasons in C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook and not in Outlook-New.pst. An I cannot change the file in settings. Big mystery

And when I write a new message, the default mail address is not the default on as per settings but the gmail address ! But after closing Outlook 2016, my default mail address is ok.

Thanks for your help
