    I thought it was working years ago via IMAP. Is that not working now or do you mean using another method?

      Google eliminated IMAP years ago in favor of OAuth and their API. Thunderbird kept up, I think. KMail didn’t

      @TheFinn@discuss.tchncs.Gmail may have worked with Kmail occasionally in the past. I think sometimes that involved going back to your Google account and telling it to accept an “unsecure” app. To be honest, I wouldn’t do that for an email app.

      Elementary has the same problem with its mail app.

        Elementary has the same problem with its mail app.

        Because the problem is Google not wanting third party apps accessing their service.

        Edit: In other news, I just tried it and GMail works just fine with KMail. Setting up is a three step process and automatic most of the way.

          @Bro666 I tried it on Fedora 40 with Plasma 6. Don’t know if it’s broken there or not. In any case, the account wizard repeatedly showed me a screen with only a back and quit button when the account hadn’t yet been created.

          Also kept telling me I had set up 2 accounts and asking if I’d like to unify them.

            Haven’t heard this one before, but it sounds like a trip to https://bugs.kde.org to me. Check if it hasn’t been reported. Maybe also check on Fedora, as it may be something going on there.

            Thanks for your help!
