Hello,
I have aslo a Gmail account
My Gmail account password works on the webmail site,
But not with Kmail (TDE) (password not recognised).
Everything is allright : mail,
pop.gmail.com, port (995), password...
Why ?
Thanks,

I receive gmail using
pop.gmail.com, port 995, etc. I do not send
through=20 gmail, although I have it configured for smtp port 587. I
usually send=20 through my
zoho.com account, as I have found that they
are a lot less hassl= e=20
than messing round with Google crap. However, we cannot escape
Google=20 entirely, and I still use it to receive certain emails,
mostly for business= =2E=20
Did you try "check what the server supports" in the configuration
settings?= I=20
notice that Gmail doesn't like Kmail using encryption. SSL (no TLS),
but=20 clear text for authentication?!?!=20
That bothers me, although at least I can use Gmail to receive, which is
bet= ter=20
than not being able to use it at all.=20

I've had no problems using imap and pop3 gmail with kmail.
I just figured out their nonesense.
Here are my settings, hopefully it will help
Incoming:
Host =
pop.gmai.com
Port = 995
Encryption = SSL
Auth Meth = clear text
Outgoing:
Host =
smtp.gmail.com
Port = 465
Fill in Server requires authentication
Encryption = SSL
Auth Meth = plain

My IP address and mac address are always changing, sometimes within a
single session (when my networkmanager is working as I want); and when I
first built a Debian > Devuan machine (which was a process of migration),
Gmail would send me warnings all the time, or block me from using it.
Also, they don't like when you access Gmail from different locations, or
using different devices; so when I went to the library, and used Gmail
there, then came home, I would get blocked at my home address. When my IP
address changed (because I use a big local network), I would get blocked
for that. When I used Kmail to access Gmail, then used Gmail through a web
browser, I would get blocked for that. They also don't like when you use
different devices (desktop computer, laptop, tablet, smartphone, public
computer, etc.); so when I checked Gmail from these different points of
origin, I would get blocked for that.
And then, finally, once I set up Gmail as already described, I stopped
getting warning notices, and no longer get blocked. However, neither do I
check Gmail from different locations any more, but mostly just from my
desktop at home.

, with whom I have had excellent
experience.
IMO, gMail is so popular (not only as a service but as a Target as well), it
is now a low-quality provider of email service (sort of the way Windows has
become such a big hacking target).
