As the security of Google's email account is gradually improved, some clients may not be able to directly create a Google account even if you have checked a lot of possible failure reasons. In fact, many applications have enabled 2-step verification function to enhance security performance, such as having to enter the code in SMS or verification code in email again then you will be able to log into its server, but for mail clients such as pbx or outlook that cannot use 2-step verification function, you might have to try Google's APP password in system email setup.
