A couple of months ago Kmail stopped working with OAuth2. I assumed Gmail |
| 9 |
changed their OAuth2 implementation and Kmail hadn't caught up with the |
| 10 |
changes. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
The way I managed this change so far, has been to set my Google Account |
| 13 |
security settings to allow "less secure apps": |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255?hl=en |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Then change the Kmail/Settings/Receiving/Advanced/Authentication from "Gmail" |
| 18 |
to "Plain". The other relevant settings are "SSL/TLS" and port "993". |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
When selecting "Gmail" authentication, it used to be the case qtwebengine |
| 21 |
would launch a GUI in which you would login into the Gmail security web GUI to |
| 22 |
set up an application specific password. I don't know if this works now, it |
| 23 |
didn't last time I tried it, a few months ago. I suspect it won't work if you |
| 24 |
have "less secure app access" enabled. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Anyway, I better send this message before I start tweaking my Google security |
| 27 |
settings and end up locking myself out of my account! LOL! |

PS. TBH I'm finding all this Google omniscience troublesome and their security |
| 30 |
settings tiresome. Perhaps it's time I took my email data elsewhere. |
