Most users may wonder why Gmail cannot be easily configured in Outlook lately? Recently, Gmail, iCloud and Yahoo! mail have implemented an additional security feature that require users to enter a second password for any third-party application including Outlook that is trying to access their email, calendars, contacts and tasks information.

It is called 2-step verification. You must enable it in order to use Gmail under Outlook. 

Here is how to enable it:

Log in your Gmail and go to Account / Security / Password. Click on Setup next to 2-step Verification. Right there, proceed its following instructions.

Now we can use Gmail's mail feature in Outlook. But what about contacts and

calendars? There is an Outlook add-in called EVO Collaborator for Outlook and it is able

to handle this type of 2-steps verification process in Gmail, iCloud and Yahoo!. You can

download it from its official website and try it out.

EVO Collaborator for Outlook is compatible with:

Public contact, calendar, task services such as Gmail, iCloud, Yahoo! and fruux

On-premise CardDAV/CalDAV servers such as EVO Mail Server, Mac OS X Server,

OwnCloud and Zimbra

After ECO installation, any contact, calendar and task items created by other means of

mobile devices or web-based interface will be synced to Outlook and vice versa.

For all items before ECO installation, you may manually select items and upload them to

your CardDAV/CalDAV account.

I think it is worth every penny of it.
