Why has it gotten so complicated to setup Outlook 2021 for pop3 gmail to fetch and send messages?

I have enabled POP3 access at Google security

I have setup 2 step verification

I have even finally been able to get the 16 digit APP Password

Opening Outlook 2021..Create New Acct...gmail acct ******@gmail.com. Selected Advanced Options,...Let me set up my account manually, selected POP, Entered my google password...got the popup Enter User name and password for server....tried entered 16 alpha Code I created...got could not connect to incoming server...timed out.

Clicked on CHANGE SETTINGS....looked at all the settings...port are correct, tried different combinations of checking, unchecking SERVER Settings, Secure Password Authentication, etc....have not been able to setup a Gmail POP3 acct in Outlook 221

Tried to find a YouTube Video that would show all steps...none I saw was applicable or helpful for Outlook 2021.....

Easies way to setup accts is to use IMAP...I prefer POP3

Is anyone aware of a detailed Video that will help Stupid me that would be detailed to follow to create Gmail Pop3 acct in Outlook 2021 to fetch and send gmail messages with Outlook 2021....
