anthony3220 good morning sir yes the information I provided is still working perfectly if you have any trouble let me know and I’ll gladly help

Thank you for the reply stewartgoodin
Unfortunately the 'fix' has not worked for me. I followed the instruction in this thread: "I logged into my GMAIL account, and changed my password from 12 to 16 characters. Restarted Outlook (2021 in my case) and when prompted, entered my new 16 character GMAIL password".
It has made no difference and I am still unable to access ANY of my Gmail accounts via Outlook. My Gmail accounts work perfectly via the Google site and on my iPhone so it is NOT an incorrect password/ username issue. Be very interested in your thoughts in case I've missed anything.
Thanks in advance of any input Stewart.
