Gmail less secure apps being locked down
On May 30, 2022 Google is locking down "less secure apps". See Google's announcement here: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255?hl=en I'm using Outlook 2019, ad use Gmail via Outlook...
RE: My previous post about Google shutting down "less secure apps"
Found a workaround that works.
After changing the POP and SMTP servers from POP/SMTP.GMAIL.Com to POP/SMTP.GoogleMAIL.COM without success, the article said change your Google Password to 16 characters. Mine was set to 12.
After resetting my password, Outlook began exchanging both POP and SMTP mail. However, it seems like it synced back to when the tablets came off the mountain..... At least my Outlook is working again.
