Windows 10: Unable to add Gmail account to Windows Mail

After I've entered my Gmail credentials and allowed Windows to have access to my Google account, I get the following notification. It is pertinent that I find a way to add this account because I need the e-mail access for school, work, and various other things. The laptop is a brand new HP Pavilion x360 and the Mail version is Version 17.8827.22055.0.


Thank you in advance for any assistance.

Potential Solutions

Based on some quick research there may be two options that may help resolve this. . .

1. Enable the 2-Step Verification functionality and security feature with your Gmail account and then use the 2-Step Verification to verify and trust the Windows Mail app to have access to your Gmail account
   
2. Enable and use the Less Secure Apps functionality by turning that ON and using your usual Gmail account password with the Windows Mail app to authenticate
   

Further Resources

• Turn on 2-Step Verification
  
  • Apps with access to your account
    
• Sign in using App Passwords
  
  • App passwords - My Account - Google
    
    
• Let less secure apps access your account

W10 Mail App - unable to add Gmail account

Hi Eric,

Thank you for being a part of Windows 10.

I appreciate you for providing details about the issue and we are happy to help you.

To solve this problem, you have to make sure that your Google account is connected to your Windows 10 computer. Here’s how to do that:

• Go to the Security section of your Google account.
• Under Connected apps and sites, go to Apps connected to your account.
• Make sure that Windows is on the list.

After you make sure that your Google account is connected with your computer, you need to create the new IMAP account, and hopefully, everything might work fine. But, before you create a new IMAP account in your Mail app, you
need to enable IMAP usage in your Google account. Follow the below steps:

• Sign in to Gmail
• Click the gear in the top right
• Select Settings
• Click Forwarding and POP/IMAP
• Select Enable IMAP
• Click Save Changes

After you enabled IMAP usage in your Google account, you can create the new IMAP account in your Mail app, and everything should work fine. Just follow these steps to create the new IMAP account:

• Open the Mail app.
• Go to Settings (Cog icon), Accounts, Add Account, Advanced Setup, and then to Internet Email.
• Fill in the details like this:
  • Account Name: {any string like “My Gmail”}
  • Your Name: {your name like “Eric”}
  • Incoming Mail Server: imap.gmail.com:993
  • Account Type: IMAP4
  • User name: {your gmail address}
  • Password: {the one time password you just generated, otherwise just your gmail password}
  • Outgoing SMTP email server: smtp.gmail.com:465
  • All checkboxes checked.
• Now try to connect to your Google account with the new Account, and it should work.
