Rod, I don't know the specific problem you are having, but here are two possible stumbling blocks. You may need to set the security for your account to allow the use of legacy applications. I believe it is in the security part of settings, and I don't remember the specific description. You will be warned against this, but I have not had issues with doing this. Google tends to warn you against doing anything other than using Google's tools.
Second, If you have Google set up to sending you notifications of activity, check the email account they go to with another program or on the web interface to be sure your new connection is not triggering such a warning. It is possible you will need to follow a link where you can specify that a given access was known to you. It is possible that your setup is fine but that the test message that Outlook is sending is being rejected so Outlook thinks the setup failed. If you don't get email warnings, go to the web site and check for notifications. I can't be much more specific because I have had to do it rarely, but you will find it given what I have seen of your abilities over the years.

Here are the settings I've found on the google site, and they don't seem to work for me: Note: To avoid locking yourself out of your account, make sure you don't exceed 2500 MB per day for IMAP downloads and 500 MB per day for IMAP uploads. If you're setting up a single IMAP account on multiple computers, try taking a break between each setup. Set up IMAP Step 1: Check that IMAP is turned on On your computer, open Gmail . In the top right, click Settings Settings . Click Settings. Click the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab. In the "IMAP Access" section, select Enable IMAP. Click Save Changes. Step 2: Change SMTP & other settings in your email client Use the table below to update your client with the correct information. For help updating your settings, search your email client's Help Center for instructions on setting up IMAP. Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server imap.gmail.com Requires SSL: Yes Port: 993 Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server smtp.gmail.com Requires SSL: Yes Requires TLS: Yes (if available) Requires Authentication: Yes Port for SSL: 465 Port for TLS/STARTTLS: 587 Full Name or Display Name Your name Account Name, User name, or Email address Your full email address Password.
