    You have to enable pop3/smtp usage in options when logged in. / For password use APP Password what you have to define and not the gmail password

    For password use APP Password what you have to define and not the gmail password

    @Sven i already through google account's interface 4 times and even did a search but there is no option to add an App Password...

    Maybe the place changed where it originally was...maybe someone else can help? Because Im not using google accounts.

    Kinda late here, but to generate the app password you need 2FA enabled for gmail.

    Yeah it wasn't warmed up or anything, I just used it to see if it got me more links from places or got approved more etc.
