Configuring ScarletMail for Less Secure Apps (Microsoft Windows Mail Prior to 8.1)
Recently Google has implemented security settings on Google Apps and Google Apps for Education. Microsoft Windows Mail Prior to 8.1 does not support these new security settings yet. For this reason when setting up Microsoft Windows Mail Prior to 8.1 these new security settings will need to be disabled for the account. To disable this please do the following:
Go to http://accounts.google.com and enter your ScarletMail Email Address. Click Next.
Enter your Rutgers NetID and password. Click Login.
Click on Connected apps & sites under Sign-in & security.
Make sure Allow less secure apps is listed as ON.
