SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols.
See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports
***
Kmail cannot connect to Gmail if 2-factor authentication is set on a Google Account.  Instead, a less secure App Password must be used.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Kmail
2. Connect outgoing mail to a Google Account

OBSERVED RESULT
An App Password is required.

EXPECTED RESULT
Kmail (and all of Kontact) should use the Online Accounts intergation built into KDE.
