Hello

First of all, the password 'AXFv06[' is not big enough. Gmail requires an 8 length password. Yours is 7. Also i cannot reproduce this bug. I am using kde 4.6.1 with kmail 2.0.89 and my distro is opensuse 11.3. Please can you try to reproduce the bug again with a newer version of kde?
Comment 4 Fabian B. 2011-03-21 00:34:45 UTC 
Hi again. The password is »"AXFv06[«, the ' " ' is a part.
for testing i have created the mail adress "kmail2.test@googlemail.com" with password »"AXFv06[« (without the »«) 
kmail2 Version 2.0.89 on KDE SC 4.6.1 cant connect
Comment 5 Antonis Tsiapaliokas 2011-03-21 21:26:06 UTC 
Hello

I cannot connect to the kmail2.test account (for my browser). Either the password is wrong or someone else has change it. If you are able to retrive it, please sent it to my email address... Thank you for your information.
