See what happens if you try to set it up using Advanced IMAP settings:

    Try this:

    Open your browser and open your Google account settings (not Gmail settings!).

    Open Sign in & security tab and scroll down a little bit until you see on your right side of the screen App passwords.

    Open it and Select app - Mail,Select device - Windows.

    Do not close the yellowish window yet leave it open and go to your Windows Mail app.

    Take in the app add profile and choose the lowest setting - Advanced setup.

    Enter your email, login (same as email but without @gmail.com) and in the password window copy that yellow password you generated in Google account settings before.

    Enter other settings as desired (your name, account name).

    Enter IMAP settings Incoming - imap.gmail.com, Outgoing - smtp.gmail.com

    Leave every box ticked in at the bottom of this setup and hit create or whatever it says there.
