I want to add Google Mail's IMAP or POP account to Outlook 2016 for Mac. However Outlook always tries to log in via a browser in all cases. Even if I choose "Not Gmail" option and select "IMAP/POP" provider.
How to skip this "Simplified Account Creation" option and manually set up IMAP account?
Welcome to Super User, and kudos on solving your problem. Your own problem was on a Mac, and the question and answer focus there. However, you thoughtfully provided some help for Windows users. Microsoft Support articles have a habit of disappearing, in which case, that helpful link would just be a tease. As long as you found it, consider adding the critical elements of it to the answer, and use the link for attribution and further reading. Since it's just a helpful addition, it could go at the end.

1And since the thread supports both Mac and Windows users, you could remove the Mac reference in the question title so Windows readers with the same problem won't be discouraged from looking here for a solution. Just some thoughts. :-) BTW, in 2 days you'll be able to accept your own answer. – fixer1234 – 2019-01-11T05:03:15.250
