I think I need to enable the settings for less secure app.

kennethsequeira · April 23, 2020, 10:49am

For Mail, yes. prior to setting up the email, make sure this is enabled.

Also quick steps:

Create new email account
Do not add Domain. Select GMail is Service.
Remember to switch off the Less Secure App setting in GMail
Select incoming/outgoing/IMAP as required.

It’s worked!

I just enabled settings(from g-suite) for less secure app and it’s working now.
Even with the domain name settings.

Thank you @kennethsequeira

Hello,

I am facing same problem also enabled settings for less secure app of my Gsuite account.

But still not able to create email account, it is giving invalid user or support password while i have checked and credentials are correct.

Please help me out ,it is so urgent for me.

Thanks in advance.

I am not an expert, but you might try a password that does NOT have special characters. That worked for me at one point.

Thank You

I have tried some other workarounds and found my less secure app setting was on, now email account is working fine.

after I had done all the steps, and the email was saved correctly, I tried to send an email but it displayed this message error “Invalid Outgoing Mail Server or Port”
