Regarding Google, Kontact is an insecure e-mail client. Therefore it needs special setup.

  • Open your e-mail account page by logging on the web: gmail.com.
  • Click the logo of your name in the top richt corner, then choose: Manage your Google account.
  • On the new page, in the top left corner type app in the search bar. One of the results is App passwords, click that. Maybe you need to log in, if so type your password.
  • On the next screen it is asked for the name of your app, type Kontact and click Create.
  • You will see a new password which you enter in Kontact for your incoming mail and, I am not sure for your outgoing mail. Maybe for this you can still use your own password. Just try it.
  • With the new password in place Kontact should be able to receive mails.

everything was connected XOauth imap and smtp but mail dispatcher offline and wont go online… so i guess KDE side mail dispatcher has something wrong

adding google account creates and gets all inormation and perissions autoatically and authentication popup comes on browser.

there might be that i need to enable less secure clients but that has been taken years ago away from google

i will test and see your info if that has soething i have missed
