Configure Gmail in Outlook for Office 365 MSO (Error: 0x800ccc92)

Question

After setting up my email (POP) in Outlook, I have been receiving lots of pop-up notifications.

When I have decided to finally address this uncommon situation, I have noticed that there was an error behind: 0x800ccc92.

That is happening even with the "less secure apps" on (Check if it is On/Off).

How should I solve this problem?

Answer 1

In order to solve the problem, I have started by securing my email, and configuring the 2-Step Verification (in the security section).

Note: The "Less secure app access" becomes unavailable for accounts with 2-Step Verification enabled.

After that, I generated an "App password" for Outlook (Mail on Windows Computer).

Then I pressed the button "Generate" and got the following:

With that password, I just had to use it on the popup notification, with my email address.

PS. I have deleted the pw displayed in the image - it serves only as an illustration (avoid sharing it with others).
