Stupid computers. Stupid competing software companies.

Trying to get a client's Outlook to talk with GMail. I've done this a
hundred times before on various versions of Outlook, T-Bird, and real
mail clients, but this one's kicking my butt.

Email: [email protected]
PW: XXXXXXXXX - confirmed via the web interface to GMail.
IMAP enabled on the gmail settings page.

In Outlook, add an account
imap.gmail.com, port 993, SSL
smtp.gmail.com, port 587 or 465, SSL or TLS or Auto, tried all six combos.
[email protected], password retyped 100 times or so.

SPA Authentication tried on and off, no joy.

Always presented with a login dialog, and Outlook reports it cannot connect.

I remember there is always a weird tweak to the combination of
settings to get this to work.

IIRC there's a trick to where you are supposed to add the account
credentials and where you don't, and I think I've tried all the
combos, although it does approach an m^n problem...

Lots of cheatsheets dated 2013 and earlier, which I suspect are out of date.

Any suggestions on what else to try?
