How To Connect Outlook 2011 For Mac To My Google Apps Accoiunt

I've just spent a couple of hours with the same problem when setting up new account for my husband's new iMac. Tried everything - setting up account via Gmail option in Mail, then the manual method. Still came back saying couldn't verify account. Then I removed the 2-step verification. Reason 8 torrent. Then I set up the gmail account manually (chose 'Other') and NOT via the Gmail option on Mail.

How To Connect Outlook 2011 For Mac To My Google Apps Account

Thought it wasn't working and presto mail started to download. It is still downloading 4,000 messages that have been archived into folders via Gmail so I gather that's why my test emails haven't been sent. Will let you know if they don't when the system finishes downloading.

At least things are communicating now. Generating and using the application specific password was the perfect solution Christopher! I'd done this in the past, but recently changed my google account password (which by the way is the same password used by the gmail email account), and tried pasting that in the password boxes for in and outgoing servers in my mac mail program, with continual rejection. And I DO have 2 step verification on. So finally, after 2.5 hours of screwing around with this (what a waste of a night), I came across your comment here and it allowed me to solve the issue and get some sleep!

Note, if you go in to turn two step verification off, the google system will not give you a popup and ask if you are tuning off because your device or app is not syning with your gmail account. Follow the links, and this will guide you through how to set this up. It's actually very simple, so rather than read a mess of instructions, you may want to just go into your account and look around the two step verification page for application specific password generation. Thanks again so much for your reply to this blog forum.

Had this happen to me this morning from both my iOS devices and Mac OS X mail. So I logged into GMail using the web interface and in the process of loading my inbox GMail put up a dialog which said they wanted me to respond to question about how I use the account (primarily for business or home) and whether I was the only one who accessed it. The dialog said it was to 'enhance my security' but it felt more like profiling for marketing purposes. At the bottom of the dialog there was a link to 'Skip' the questionaire. I clicked on that and my inbox appeared. After that both Mac OS X mail and iOS mail stopped complaining about being unable to connect things went back to normal.

So it would appear that this dialog is interfering with the iOS and Mac Mail clients.
