Emailing via Outlook from O$6.1.2

[Reg Paling]

Hi Bill,

This page has some information which may help:

I think your client can probably 1) turn ON "Less secure app access" and 
2) use an App Password for Omnis to access gmail in the same way that it 
always has.

You can google "less secure apps" for a broad range of information and 
opinions!

Kind regards,
Reg
