I am able to send Gmail messages through Kmail but not receive. Not a single message is received by Kmail client. :( I'm very disappointed with the situation. It shouldn't be a pain to setup an email client with a famous email provider.
The company utilizes gmail as the email provider. So I try to use imap.gmail.com. Once kmail detects that this is imap.gmail.com, several cocnfiguration options are disabled. It tries the first time, asks gmail login credentials through a limited web like interface. Even after providing the info, in the aftermath it doesn't work.
Same for me, but maybe this is a duplicate of 378876?
Git commit c9ae16363e68d6958db0cd835cb0180b340594b5 by Daniel Vrátil. Committed on 22/04/2017 at 11:31. Pushed by dvratil into branch 'Applications/17.04'. [IMAP] Fix migration to new Gmail authentication Currently the settings would be migrated only if user opened the Settings dialog. The GmailPasswordRequester expects that the server settings is migrated correctly and always tries to authenticate via XOAUTH2, even if the configuration says "PLAIN" or other mechanism. This breaks login as we try to send XOAUTH2 tokens as PLAIN credentials. This change ensures that the encryption and auth mechanism settings is correctly migrated on resource startup.

There's a bug in Kubuntu/Neon packages that breaks Gmail login: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=379089 Closing as downstream issue.
