Gmail stopping less-secure access 30 May


Recommended Posts

Posted

This announcement by Gmail has me very concerned since I'm still using POP3 access via Windows 7 and Outlook 2003 quite happily and without problem. It sounds like Google are needlessly going to cut off my main e-mail just because they feel like it.

Can anyone please advise the minimum upgrades I will probably need to continue to be able to access Gmail in the way I have done described above for the past 20 years after 30 May?

I presume that Outlook 2003 is considered "less secure" by Google and will therefore be cut-off. What minimum version of Office will I need to upgrade to in order to continue access without 2FA drama?

Will this mean W10 is the only way forward after this change or will W7 still be able to work with Gmail via POP3 access?

Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated because being cut off from Gmail after using it for the last 20 years or so will be quite traumatic to say the very least.

Does Microsoft Office still work on Windows 7?

  1. Windows 7 will work with Microsoft Office 2016 or earlier versions of Microsoft Office. 
  2. Windows 7 will work with Microsoft Office 365.
  3. Only Microsoft Office 2019 or latest Office is specifically Windows 10 - 11 only.

Your best bet is Microsoft Office 2016.
