@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Can I use my Gmail account in Kmail now?

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Apparently, the answer is “No, I can’t use Gmail with Kmail in Plasma 6”.

Booted the current Fedora 40 nightly KDE ISO. Using “Online Accounts” did not set up my Gmail account in Kmail. Kmail found the account in Mozilla’s database when I tried to create it directly in Kmail. I was led through a dialog that ended with a display of server info with a “Previous” and a “Quit” button. The account was not created. #KDE #Plasma6

@Corb_The_Lesser @kde @kde@lemmy.kde.social yeah the new wizard had to be completely rewritten for Qt6 and still requires a bit of work and testing with various email providers. 😔

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

@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.

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.

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