Yup same as my own settings, except that I almost never send from my Gmail
account.
Is there any way to configure Kmail to work with
Gmail (i.e., using
2FA or OAuth2, etc.) without having to get into Gmail itself?
because, you see, I can't even login on a Gmail page, much less get
into my account. And yet, until at least the end of this month, I
can still receive Gmail.
It's deep and hard to find, but Gmail does have a "unique application
password", generated by Gmail, which when pasted into Kmail works as
a POP3 password for authentication.
I have Kmail pulling POP3 from port 995 using that function and it's
working fine. Sending from Kmail is by SMTP through my ISP.
Curt-
By chance, do you mean doing *this*?

Out of all my searches, this seemed most likely to address the current issue.
If this is what you mean, and I see that others confirm that it works, then I
just need to find my way into that dark place where Google keeps it hidden
from us, the ordinary exploited users and the true source of their income.
