This issue occurs when you try to sync to a Gmail account after July 15, 2014 and Basic Authentication has not been enabled for your Gmail account. Google has increased its security measures to block access to Google accounts after July 15, 2014 if those accounts are being set up or synced in apps and on devices that use Basic Authentication. Cause: Outlook doesn't have a connection to the Internet or your network. Solution: Make sure that your computer is connected to the Internet or your network.

Sometimes you can go step by step when setting up your Gmail account and for some reason, it does not seem to work.

If you do it the other way around, the 587 may revert back to Port 25 which can cause connectivity issues. If after doing this, Google still seems to be blocking Outlook from accessing Gmail, then you will need to change some settings in Google, not in Outlook. Google claims that this is done for the safety of your account, but it seems to me that Outlook shouldn’t necessarily be on the list of risky apps.
How To Let Outlook Access Your Gmail Account You probably received an email from Google with the subject title “Sign-in attempt prevented”, which should look something like this.
