Outlook Classic for Windows: Can’t get my school account (Gmail) added to outlook.

My new school uses a gmail system gated by a MyU web portal. Both trying to use the mail settings in my computer and File —> add account in outlook have failed for me.

When going through outlook classic I went to add account then typed in the username and pressed connect. It then took me to “advanced setup” where if I click google it takes me to an IMAP loader

I then googled what to put in the boxes put:

Incoming mail
Server: imap.gmail.com
Port: 993
Encryption method: SSL/TLS

Outgoing mail
Server: smtp.gmail.com
Port: 587
Encryption method: STARTTLS

Left the boxes unchecked.

It then opened up my portal in chrome where it seemed to sign in for a second (outlook said it connected) before my window online said localhost refused to connect and my outlook said google- IMAP couldn’t sign in.

any ideas on how to fix this? Additionally this is the first time I’ve ever had to do a manual configuration am I doing something wrong to not have the ask auto configure?

For those of you who need this gearing up to apply without a 4.0 and 520+

Pretty much this post allowed the anxiety from subs like this stop me from applying my first year, yet i still got in this year with a 3.4 and 504. Control what you can control and don’t obsess in what you can’t.

Hey not sure if this is a possible thing, I am creating a discord for my medical school class and really liked the forms option to add one more level of hierarchy to the “blocks” we will be covering. I created a template with startup responses to cover most of the important information and went to try to clone the channel. While the channel did clone the starting chatrooms didn’t. Is there a way around this? Or do i either have to go back to regular channels or manually populate each block?
