How to add a gmail to the GSA Ranker.

elindo586 · February 2019

I created a new Gmail account.

the setting from Gmail are:

pop.gmail.com
SSL yes
Port 995
then is the username and password.

POP enabled for all mail.

It doesn't say POP3, but its just POP

I put that information in the Engine Ranker but when I test it it gives me error.

As of 30th May, Gmail no longer accepts GSA SER as Google changed their terms ( https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255?hl=en ) is there or will be a fix for this? Thanks.

switching the protocol to IMAP should work.

Tried and worked. Also, POP3 still works when it was supposed to not work since the deadline ( yesterday ).

Tried IMAP today and it seems like it stopped working.

Also, https://myaccount.google.com/lesssecureapps says that this setting is no longer available.

Any fix for this or should we move to another mail provider? Thanks

I have no solution right now as I use the latest ssl libs and don't know why it would not be secure.

So gmail working nowadays or not?

It does with app password configured, but I really do not recommend using that.
