    I entered all the settings per the Getting Started guide and when I test I get this:

    Connect to Mail Host Postie connection: sockets Postie protocol: imap-ssl Postie server: imap.gmail.com Postie port: 993 Unable to connect. The server said: IMAP – Could not connect to IMAP server imap.gmail.com on port 993. Array ( [0] => A0002 NO [AUTHENTICATIONFAILED] Invalid credentials (Failure) )

    I have checked all my credentials (more than once).

    HELP!

    Did you set up an application password as described here? https://postieplugin.com/ufaq/gmail-not-working/

    Wayne, That took care of getting the emails out of gmail and creating posts. Thanks.

    I did get this after the emails were pulled. I’m not sure where to find or how to do what is in this instruction:

    An unauthorized message has been sent to Indy Exterior Clean.

    Sender: [email protected]

    Subject: Security alert

    If you wish to allow posts from this address, please add [email protected] to the registered users list and manually add the content of the email found below.

    Otherwise, the email has already been deleted from the server and you can ignore this message.

    If you would like to prevent postie from forwarding mail in the future, please change the FORWARD_REJECTED_MAIL setting in the Postie settings panel

    The original content of the email has been attached.

    that is an email you get if someone sends something to your Postie email addresses who doesn’t have permissions to post. In this case it was an email from Google.

    Essentially you can ignore it.
