Why can't I get Gmail working on my Windows mobile using Office 365

I entered my Gmail email details & PW. I get back a message saying it can't be configured. I have tried adding other information as in Server details,etc.
When I use my Hotmail email I have no problems.

It might have been because of two step verification?

What does that mean?

Two-step verification: In lamest terms, Google gives you the option of premade codes to access your items, or contact you via text message to provide a code to access your items, etc. It is an extra step to log into your account.

By you asking that question I will assume you don't have two step verification on.

Thanks for the response. You are probably correct on the 2 stage thing.
