Trying to add Google mail to Mail and get error 0x80040154


I'm trying to add a google account to Mail and when I choose Google I get the message,

'something went wrong error 0x80040154'

Has anyone had any success getting this feature to work? Or has anyone else found a way to solve this error?

Since posting this I did read a suggestion about adding it under IMAP/POP option instead of choosing add GMAIL. I tried this but since my Gmail has secure settings the test email was blocked. There is an option in Gmail setting to make the account less secure, but I don't want to do this.

 

email


My system is Windows 10, my browser is Google Chrome and my email is Windows live. When I open a hyperlink I get a blank/black page listed as "Untitled". Any suggestions?

 

Help Me Understand What I'm Doing Wrong

I may be missing something, but I think what's being suggested is you use the arrow to choose another different method other then 'phone number' such as email or an authentication app, whatever's on the drop down list that's not a phone number.
