I regularly get a message that “Some accounts could not be synced, retrying…” – I am unable to get a more detailed description, for example which accounts have syncing issues.
But considering that my G Suite account was not receiving new incoming emails, I suspected that this was the one with the issues.
In my attempts to get my work email working again, I removed the account and tried to set it up again.
And now I can’t set it up again.
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Mailspring → Add Account
Click on “Gmail or G Suite”
New browser window opens asking me to log in to my account. I do that.
I get asked whether to authorize Mailspring for my email, I accept.
Get a new screen: “You’re all set, go back to Mailspring to finish setup.”
Mailspring still has the “Connecting to Google…” page open. After a few minutes, it changes to “Sorry, we had trouble logging you in. Failed to fetch.” And a button “Try again” which brings me back to the selection for the email provider.
I’ve tried my default browser (Vivaldi), but also Safari and Chrome, it didn’t help.
I expect that after step 5 above, Mailspring has connected to the account and syncronised the emails. Or at least gives me new options for how to proceed.
OS and Version: MacOS Monterey 12.3.1
Installation Method: It’s been a while, but I’ve used the default installer.
Mailspring Version: 1.10.3
I really wish there was an option to get more detailed error messages.
Same issue here. I’ve tried both a Google Workspace and personal Gmail account.

I have a few updates. At some point, the connection worked, but now the mail isn’t syncing again.
That said, I have found the log files in $HOME/Library/Application\ Support/Mailspring, and here is the hopefully relevant part of the log file:

I have the same issue on M2 Macbook Pro when first attempting to add my accounts to Mailspring. Pity, this looked like a nice client.
After one year, nobody does fix the issue???
