Default outlook cannot connect to incoming POP3 server

hi all,



I have done some research on outlook not being able to setup either POP3 or IMAP connections with gmail. apparently this is microsoft's problem, but does anyone have any insight into this? I'm getting the error specified in this thread's title. I'm on MS OFFICE 2010 and I have windows 7 with all updates installed. I have tried setting my account up using both POP3 and IMAP, and both result in different errors. Here are the instructions i've followed:

IMAP: Check Gmail through other email platforms - Gmail Help

POP3: Read Gmail messages on other email clients using POP - Gmail Help

ive also included an IMAP error that i get when trying that method. One other thing...I tried going through this process with antivirus software installed and without antivirus software installed and I still got the same errors. My antivirus is Avira.

Isteo,

I did indeed turn on "less secure app access" but i did so after i received the error. so that was likely the issue. however, i am back running office 2007 and I am again getting an error about not being able to connect. but i will post the issue details in a new thread.
