Hi Hal; Sorry I tried what you suggested about configuring googlr with outlook 2016 , still did not work, do you have a link for all the steps please sir. Thank you
App Passwords are single use, single client. If you have a Gmail POP account and want to add it to two different Outlook instances, you will need to generate two different App Passwords, one for each Outlook. IOW, if you have Outlook 2016 on one machine and Outlook 2021 on a different machine, and you want to add a single Gmail POP account to each, you'll need two different App Passwords, one for each Outlook instance.
So that I do not get missed up, going with POP3 accts....when I open gmail, select Manage accounts/Security...2 step shows ON....I click on ADD PASWORDS and a NEW 16 digit Password will be generated (it will be a different Password from the one I got for my Outlook 2016)....so for each of my gmail accts there will be a 16 digit password that I now use in My Outlook 2016 acct and a different 16 digit password I use for my pop3 2021 Outlook that I will be creating in Outlook 2016.
If this is correct, gmail will have multiple passwords for 1 for my Outlook 2016 and a different one for my 2021 Outlook accts.
Just want to be sure I understand the process...thanks
IMAP vs POP
What Is POP & IMAP & Which One Should You Use For Your Email?
Differences between POP3 and IMAP
Each Gmail POP account you wish to add to Outlook will require 2-Step Verification and a generated App Password on the Gmail side.
Looking at my Outlook 2016 Gmail accts, they all show POP/SMTP.....I do like things as they are...I like the way I use Outlook 2016.
You wrote when explaing IMAP "All you'll need is your user account and standard Gmail password, no 16-digit App Password is necessary." For clarity, USER ACCOUNT would be the USER NAME (or as I have always referred them to as my ID)
What would be the benefit of setting up Outlook 2021 as IMAP accts? Would New emails just load into 1 InBox? One acct set as default for sending but can chnage?
If 2021 even allows me to select to setup POP3 Acct; I opened Security and it of corse shows 2 Step Verification is ON..I would click on ADD PASSWORDS, sign into each of my Google email accts...and a NEW 16 Digit Password would be generated to enter into each email acct I create in Outlook 2021 (different from what I got and entered into my 2016 Outlook ACCT Passwords or the same 16 Digit Paaword will be displayed to use).
