hello , at this Microsoft knowledge base Microsoft admits outlook can not be secured with gmail.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2984937in order to connect with gmail , this setting needs to be changed in gmail account settings.
"Google Account: access for less secure apps has been enabled"
my question is how come ? what is the nature of this extra security that Microsoft cannot follow up with a patch ?
how is the gmail account being compromised ?
thanks for any info
