#Unable to create gmail account in outlook 2013 upgrade
This particular laptop is meant to be used outside of the firewall, so it uses IMAP to connect to gmail.įor the work laptop, even if I could upgrade to Outlook 2019, there is the additional problem that Outlook 2019 seems to work much, much more slowly and less reliably than 2013.

Normally, work laptops connect to Exchange servers behind a firewall.
#Unable to create gmail account in outlook 2013 install
It is on a work laptop, and I don't believe that I am free to install my own commercial software on it. What do I have to do to make Outlook 2019 work without "Less secure app access"? Do I have to choose a different encryption? This question applies to Outlook 2019 on my home laptop.Įven if you don't want to share details about how you did it, it would be useful to know whether anyone has made this work (for Outlook 2019 desktop app, not as part of Office 365).Įven if you had to move to a paid Gmail account to get this to work, thanks if you can share this fact, and (only if you like), the details behind the procedure.Ĭan I do the same with Outlook 2013? If not, this presents a problem. I have been unable to find the details of what specific things make access "less secure" so that I can try to redress the problem. Neither Outlook 20 is able to access Gmail's IMAP servers. I just did a test by turning off "Less secure app access". The email also advised that I need to upgrade to Outlook 2019. I use Outlook 20 (desktop app, not Office 365) to access gmail via IMAP. Google has been kind enough to give lots of advance notice that it will stop providing "Less secure app access" to third party applications (image of email below).
