Outlook 2016 IMAP persists in failing to connect with Gmail

Thanks again SoFine 409.

I did get to the step:
'In App passwords click the right arrow'

As I mentioned above, there is no 'dropdowns' showing in my case so as to choose : "Mail" on my "WindowsComputer" then Generate as you can see:



It is only text '[COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.541176)]App passwords allow you to access your Google Account through apps such as Mail on an iPhone or Mac, or Outlook. [/COLOR]Learn more' with no links to generate.'
There is no:

1. isit your App passwords page. You may be asked to sign in to your Google Account. Done
2. At the bottom, click Select app and choose the app you’re using.
3. Click Select device and choose the device you’re using.
   
   
   
4. Click Generate.

Problems signing in with 2-Step verification? - Accounts Help

Is my gmail account lacking in something?
How can I remedy this, please?
Shall I switch to 2 step verification first? I am using the Samsung mobile to confirm my Gmail password for the moment.

All the best

 

Outlook 2016 IMAP persists in failing to connect with Gmail

That is odd; Here is the screen that I see for my account:



Are you logging into your account with your PC and do you have 2-step verification turned on for your PC?
Maybe you can not generate another app specific password from a device that has not been verified via 2-step? Give that a try and see if it makes any difference.

If that doesn't work then maybe you should try to install the Gmail app for Android on your S4? I have the Gmail app for IOS installed on my iPads and iPhones and it doesn't need an app specific password each time I check my email as long as I stay logged in. When you set it up it uses your normal gmail address and your password then it does the 2-step verification. After that your good to go. Then you could revoke the S4 app specific password and then you might be able to generate one for the Outlook/PC.

Give these a try.
