Default I Can't Add Gmail Accounts To Outlook 2019

I am trying to add 4 email addresses to Outlook 2019. I am able to add email accounts for 2 eznet.net email accounts but it won't let add my gmail accounts.

I'm hoping that someone can review the following information and tell me what the problem is.

When I set up the eznet accounts, I was presented with the dialog to fill in the server names, port and encryption method. No problem. Everything worked fine.

When I try to set up a gmail, I get this message:

"Something went wrong

We couldn't connect to the incoming (IMAP) server using the specified encryption method."

When I click Change Account Settings the dialog box is pre-filled in with:

imap.gmail.com, 993, SSL/TLS
smtp.gmail.com, 465, SSL/TLS

Clicking Connect causes the error screen to reappear.

My gmail settings look like this:

IMAP access:

Status: IMAP is enabled
o Enable IMAP
Disable IMAP

When I mark a message in IMAP as deleted:
o Auto-Expunge on - Immediately update the server. (default)
Auto-Expunge off - Wait for the client to update the server.

When a message is marked as deleted and expunged from the last visible IMAP folder:
o Archive the message (default)
Move the message to the Trash
Immediately delete the message forever

Folder size limits
o Do not limit the number of messages in an IMAP folder (default)
Limit IMAP folders to contain no more than this many messages 1,000

In addition, I've got gmail set to Allow Less Secure Apps.

Due to the encryption issue, I never get to the screen where I should be able to enter my gmail password, etc.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
