Problem

After I changed the password in my Institutional Gmail I have to re-authenticate every time I restart the PC. This error is reported in the config log file:

*** Mailspring Sync

This is happening for me also on a hotmail account, using Windows 10 1.91 aswell.

Tried to delete the account and add again, but it didn’t solve.

This is happening to me as well - changed passwords on two Google accounts and I keep having to reconnect both after each system restart.

Mailspring 1.9.1, Windows 10 Home build 19042.

I have the same problem.
Every time I turn on the notebook, I need to reauthenticate my hotmail.
I’ve logged out and logged in again, but it doesn’t work.

For hotmail, i would highly suggest using a application specific password for malspring and use a real 2FA for your account.

Following this link will generate a applicaiton specific password that you can use as hotmail password in Mailspring : https://account.live.com/proofs/AppPassword
