    Hi!

    The following is a trick from another user:

    In your browser, go to your Gmail account and log in :

    1. Click the gear icon in the upper right-hand corner and select "Settings."
    2. In Settings, click the "Forwarding and POP/IMAP" tab.
    3. In the IMAP Access area, check "Enable IMAP."
    4. Click the Save Changes button.

    Next, authorize Mail to use your Gmail account:

    1. Go to google.com, log into your Google account, and click on your photo in the upper right corner, then click the "My Account" button.
    2. Next, navigate to Sign-in & Security > Connected Apps & Sites > Allow less secure apps, then set that option to "ON." (Don't get fooled by Google's marketing, all email applications are very secure.)
    3. Wait for a minute or two for the change to take

    Finally, configure your Gmail account manually in the Windows 10 Mail app :

    1. Add account, choose "Advanced configuration", then "E-mail on internet"
    2. Name of account : "Gmail" (the name that will appears in the app)
    3. Your name : "yourname" (what will appear in your recipients inbox)
    4. Incoming mail server : "imap.gmail.com:993:1"
    5. Account type : "IMAP4"
    6. User name : "*** Email address is removed for privacy ***"
    7. Password : "xxxxxxxxx" (password to your Google account)
    8. Outgoing mail server : "smtp.gmail.com:465:1"
    9. and keep the next 4 boxes checked... click the open session button
