But the larger issue is the fact that the email side even if using modern auth is IMAP, and IMAP is a messaging protocol it simply doesn't deal with all the extra stuff. This is after I hit the +2 more link on the main security settings pane, as it only presents the first three there with that Microsoft has their own way of handling all that stuff that predates Google as a company, much less gmail. Whether it's the Windows 10 Mail App, or Outlook, the entry for Microsoft apps & services is the one relevant to their access. If it does not, and you complete the process, I'll almost bet my bottom dollar that there is cache corruption in the browser you had tried to use previously, and the solution to that is doing a complete purge of browser cache for that browser.Īlso, since it sounds like you're using one of the more recent versions of Outlook, unless there is some reason to have less secure apps enabled otherwise, disable it.Īddendum: Since a picture is worth a thousand words, here's a screenshot for my Google Account where I'm using several different email clients for testing. A "cheater's version" of this is to temporarily change your default web browser under Windows Settings, and see if the same "stall" happens when the OAUTH dialog appears under that web browser. In instances like this, where there is weird behavior in a web browser (and, yes, that Google dialog is a browser dialog), I strongly suggest clearing browser cache, for all time, as an initial step. It wasn't clear to me what the sticking point was with that pop-up OAUTH dialog.
