gmail with 2-step verification will not send from outlook 2016 for mac os

Are you trying to connect using IMAP or POP? Do you have the appropriate service enabled in the account at Settings > Forwarding and POP/IMAP? - IMAP and I recreated the settings a few times to make sure they are exactly as in the instructions.Did you definitely cause Outlook to attempt to connect within ten minutes of pressing Continue? - Absolutely, I did it right away.Perhaps somehow the Captcha always gets cleared for my primary gmail account and the second one remains problematic? Then I opened Outlook and the same situation happened again. I clicked on the Captcha link you provided, got the prompt to continue, clicked that and got the message to proceed. So I was not signed in to any email account through the browser or otherwise. To be on the safe side I did a reboot and did not open any applications, only the browser with your instructions. I am not sure I quite understand how that works. You really need to sign out first then sign in using only the account you need to clear.

When you cleared captcha, are you absolutely sure that you were signed into the Gmail account that is not connecting before you opened that page? If you were signed into multiple accounts in the same browser, the Captcha page uses the primary account.I was not able to proceed with setup until I did that. If not, did you check to ensure that the access for less secure apps is still enabled? - yes, I did that as one of the initial setup steps.In the Gmail account, do you have two-step verification enabled? - No, just email name and password.What version of Outlook are you using? Did you configure manually or allow Outlook to connect automatically?.Are you trying to connect using IMAP or POP?

If you are not receiving messages into Outlook, I would think that you are not connected. Please describe exactly what you mean by 'I am connected'.
