[k-9-mail] can not setup gmail account in K-9

Just click the link and work through the bullet points. My guess is you
need to "allow less secure apps access".

Just to go back to the original question on this post, in case it's still
open, here's a method I've found to work in the past:

1. Sign out of all Google accounts (or open a web browser that has no
Google accounts signed in)
2. Navigate to http://www.google.com/accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptcha and sign
in using the account you're having trouble with
3. Follow any remaining on-screen prompts to confirm that recent blocked
login attempts were actually initiated by you
4. Repeat the login attempt on the blocked device (i.e. from K-9)

Josh Brooks,

THANK YOU so much, your 4 steps below absolutely worked. I tried the
"DisplayUnlockCaptcha" while logged in, did not work. Followed your steps,
and it worked.

Thanks again.

In general, and on a side note, I am not a big fan of Apple products, but
when my kids devices have had issues, Apple support has been great. Where
is Google support like this??? If it wasn't for the luck of finding Josh's
post, I would have been helpless.

My opinion and experience.

Well, with Apple, you have one company, one product. Apple support outside of their 'genius' bar is highly regarded. But they exert rigid control over iOS and hardware, so it's much easier.

With Google/Android, you have Android + a bunch of different phone/tablet makers (who each customize and/or mangle Android to suit their individual goals) + a much larger plethora of 3rd party app makers.

Asking Google to sort out problems that might be due to something Samsung or LG or the app maker tweaked is asking a lot.

Just my opinion. I never encountered your problem with adding GMail to K-9, probably because I haven't logged into my Google account via the web in years.

The thing is, I have two other gmail accounts that have always worked fine
on K9. They were installed at very different times. This 3rd gmail,
however, would not authenticate. Given the advice I used to get it to
work, I would suggest google has made a change that has affected how the K9
app is allowed to authenticate, and not vice versa.

Believe you me, I'm no fan of Apple, but you can at least call and talk to
Apple tech support. I couldn't even find an email to send a help request
to google tech support.

And it's just not that. I use a few google products, I'm not particularly
thrilled with any of them. Google just does not seem to polish their
products, at least in my view. Hangouts for example, which my family uses
alot, is glitchy and laggy. The gmail web interface (which I seldom use,
but other family members do) is unintuitive, unattractive, reminds me of
the crappy webmail my ISP uses.

Maybe I'm just too picky. I've been accused of that. :)

It's possible Google changed something. They've been known to move fast
and break things. Also, they probably don't have K-9 on their radar
anymore than they do other Android mail clients outside of their own
products (and possibly the Android version of Outlook, big corporations
tend to like other big corporations, for some reason).

I agree, Apple does really good tech support. When I recommend computers
for non-technical people, I recommend Apple.

I've never tried to email Google about anything, figuring that if I
can't find a solution with a search engine, there probably isn't a known
solution available.

I've used Google Hangouts once - worked with a team of college students
on a project and that's what they used. Otherwise, I don't use it at all.

Then webmail! I hate webmail. I've never found a webmail that wasn't
clunky, slow and difficult to use. (Note: My ISP's webmail is worse. But
I understand that a number of smaller ISPs use a branded version of
GMail for their webmail.) I'm a dinosaur: give me a standalone mail
client like K-9, Thunderbird, PMail, even clunky Outlook instead of a
webmail interface. Even a text email client like Alpine, PINE or old
moldy Elm!

So you're not alone, I guess you can call me picky, too. :)

From my experience, this means that, at some point in the past, you
configured Gmail to verify when it sees a new device trying to connect to
your email account. It should send you a numeric code by text message or
automated voice call (depending on which you had previously selected), and
then your Android device should show you a web page and ask you to enter
the numeric code you were sent.

I like using POP3 for this account because the messages are so important.
This way there is less chance that I will accidentally delete messages from
the server.
Since POP3 normally doesn't do this, any action I take on my phone will not
effect the messages on the server. They will only be deleted when I
purposely do it online.

This is backwards. The default for every POP3 client I've ever
configured is TO DELETE messages from the server after downloading them.

You have to manually make a specific config change to NOT delete them.

But this has always been problematic with POP3, as it was never designed
to 'leave messages on server', that 'feature' was an afterthought.

IMAP is the way to go in the modern world.

... and, there's a K9 IMAP option under "fetching mail" that lets
you explicitly control this:

When I delete a message
- do not delete on server
- delete from server
- mark as read on server

selecting either the first or third will hold the message on the
server.

It's probably a corollary to Godwin's law that all discussions of e-mail
configuration eventually turn into a discussion of IMAP vs POP3.

FWIW: You can enable both IMAP and POP3 support for your GMAIL account.

For POP3 you have the following options:

1. Enable POP for all mail (even mail that's already been downloaded)
Enable POP for mail that arrives from now on
Disable POP

2. When messages are accessed with POP:
keep Gmail's copy in the Inbox
mark Gmail's copy as read
archive Gmail's copy
delete Gmail's copy

You should have the following configured:

Incoming Mail (POP3) Server - requires SSL: pop.gmail.com
Use SSL: Yes
Port: 995
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - requires TLS or SSL: smtp.gmail.com
Use Authentication: Yes
Port for TLS/STARTTLS: 587
Port for SSL: 465
Server timeouts: Greater than 1 minute, 5 minutes recommended
Account Name or User Name: your full email address (including @gmail.com
or @your_domain.com)

So since you're getting an authentication error, I'm going to a wild
stab and guess that you're "Account Name" is set to just the username
portion of the e-mail address. It needs to be the full e-mail address to
authenticate.

I strongly suggest setting up 2-factor authentication and creating an
application specific password for authentication in K-9. Not because I
don't trust the developers of K-9, but because I don't trust anybody.

Another thing to factor into the POP3 equation is that if you are
archiving any e-mail as you receive it via filter, you probably will not
be able to download it via POP3 as it will only get messages in the Inbox.

I tried two-step verification in the past and it freaked out my other
apps and logging in on the pc. So I am not going to mess with that
I checked and made sure my account name is the entire gmail email

And you have enabled 'Allow less secure applications' to auth?

On the Gmail web site, there is also an option to generate an
"application-specific password". This produces a lengthy password that
bypasses the two-factor requirement.

From the google documentation it appears that this only works with two-step
verification. I am not using two-step verification

To use it, I believe you need to have two-factor turned on, unless
something changed.

What I meant was, it allows K-9 to function with the existing program
logic, as it would with a conventional password.

I cant install k9 now. The new vercion alwayse crashed install, and if i install manual, it installs. But i need to choose unsecurity password, otherwise not installed.. after that, all received, but sending doesn't work. While default mail program works properly, so, i think that is not a server or my device problem.
If you like, i can send log or elthe need, just say, where log keeping.

The "application-specific password" option on Gmail's site is a work-around.

Have tried all this but sadly still no luck! The emails were coming in
absolutely fine for the past few months then all of a sudden have stopped
because of this 'Command: Authenticate Plain' error. Will have to seek an
alternative app

I'm hoping to get the 'more secure' proper Google authentication stuff merged at some point which will fix this sort of issue.

No ETA unfortunately because life has been super busy as of late.
