When attempting to connect to GMail I receive an error: "Too many commands before auth [some string of alphanumerics]"and 9(!) popups saying "The server sent the following ALERT: Please log in via your web browser: https://support.google.com/mail/accounts/answer/78754 (Failure)". I am attempting to connect via "Network Connection" (which works, BTW, and I have used many other IMAP clients to connect to GMail with these same settings. I can access via web browser and have been through GMail's trouble shooting) to imap.gmail.com on 993 with "Forced encryption (TLS)". My refresh interval is increased to 15min to avoid any issues w/ too frequent connection attempts. NB: Connection settings work fine w/ my ISP provided email services.

Can you please confirm you enabled this: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255
Please reopen when you have provided the requested information -- this is very likely GMail's security feature which allows you to perform some manual steps.
Created attachment 97369 [details] attachment-25194-0.html I suspect you are right. I am having the same problem with Trojitá. It would seem helpful, given the popularity of GMail, to provide instructions/configuration so people could actually use KMail.* I really prefer it to any other options.* However, if I cannot my email, it isn't quite as useful. It is a huge disappointment that KMail doesn't provide a simple to use wizard/fill in the blank form to connect to GMail. Ditto for Apple's mail/tasks/notes/calendar (iCloud). Instructions for connecting to it are a bit hard to find (I found the WebDAV settings in one of the Apple/iThings fanboy listserv). While I am toying with switching my main email to MyKolab, or self-hosting OX or Kolab, I, and a lot of other people, need to connect to GMail (the world's leading email service). Your users should not have to spend hours trying to set up KMail! Both my (former) iPhone and Android phone *connect out of the box*, with only a few seconds required to put in my account information. KMail (and Trojitá) are both no-shows in this regard. I gave up using C++ years ago, and am not an expert on email services like you are, so there isn't much I can do to add a wizard to do whatever it takes to connect to non-Kolab email servers. *Kevin M.

> It is a huge disappointment that KMail You're not talking to kmail devs - you reported this bug against trojitá. And this gmail issues affects outlook or thunderbird likewise - it's more like a strategy to please not use external clients with gmail. > doesn't provide a simple to use wizard/fill in the blank form to connect to GMail. That's not even possible in this case since you've to log into your google webaccount to alter this setting - it cannot be done externally.
