--- Comment #8 from Daniel Vrátil <dvra...@kde.org> --- What version of Kontact do you have? Indeed in previous versions it wasn't possible to switch to other authentication methods when the server URL was imap.gmail.com, but in the more recent version (I think since KDE Applications 18.04 or 18.08 - that's Kontact 5.8 or 5.9) it is possible if you select "Custom Account" -> "IMAP" then in the "Advanced" tab, the authentication method combo box should be accessible and you should be able to select PLAIN method and enter your username and password normally. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
