Problem Setting up Incoming Gmail

    It seems I have tried every combination in the world but ‘incoming’ isn’t working.

    ‘Outgoing’ works fine.

    Should I be using the Gmail setting OR imap?

    Using both I get something like this…

    Can not connect to the server: imap.googlemail.com. Please, check your setting.Connection error: Can not authenticate to IMAP server: [ALERT] Please log in via your web browser: https://support.google.com/mail/acco

    Google support says I should use ‘imap.gmail.com’ (I’ve tried that AND googlemail.com)

    I’ve even turned this on – ‘Access for less secure apps has been turned on’

    Thanks for your help!

    Hello

    Thank you for contacting us. Telling the truth, now we are changing incoming mail settings, because we received a few similar requests.
    That’s why we suggest following steps:

    1. Username: gmail adress
    2. Protocol: IMAP
    3. Host: imap.gmail.com
    4. Passward:
    5. Port: 993
    6. Encryption: SSL

    7. Save changes (ATTENTION)
    8. “Check configuration”

    Hope, it will be helpful, but anyway please let us know about results.

    Thanks for the reply.

    I updated the plugin, then I tried again double checking the above and still got this message –
    “Can not connect to the server: imap.gmail.com. Please, check your setting.Connection error: Can not authenticate to IMAP server: [AUTHENTICATIONFAILED] Invalid credentials (Failure)”

    Thanks for your help.
