In so doing, I don’t think it matters what one puts under ‘app’ and under ‘device’. (1.3) Under that heading, find the mention of ‘app-specific passwords’. Find the heading marked ‘Signing into Google’. (1) On the web, (1.1) sign into your Google account and (1.2) find therein the link that says ‘security’ and click that link.
So here are instructions, which work and which are reasonably full, for how to get Gmail to work on k9. I had that app-specific password setup for my outgoing gmail already. So I used that password for my incoming Gmail. I found that after a while K9/Google would accept as the password for my incoming Gmail my app-specific password and only that password. One was shown in my Gmail outbox (which is the only ‘folder’ within Gmail that K9 enables me to see). I note finally that two of emails that I was trying to send via Gmail seem to have evaporated entirely. No dice: when trying to recreate the account (the account-within-k9), I got an error message saying. I deleted my Gmail account - deleted it from K9 - and then recreate it. (Part of the problem, admittedly, is that Google’s own instructions are dire.)
K9 needs to provide, somewhere, intelligible and concise instructions, which work. I am getting pretty sick of this problem. But if I look at my notifications, I do see an Android notification that says:Ĭould not find a valid MX or A record for domain. Instead, when I try to send mail from my Gmail account, using K9, K9 closes, without any obvious error message (perhaps because I have set K9 notifications to ‘silent’). Having used my Google Account settings to set up an app password, K9 does not prompt me for that password.
