Mailspring can't login to google mail

[scvg009]

Mailspring 1.10.5 is unable to log into gmail and displays the following error: request to https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v4/token failed, reason: connect ETIMEDOUT.
I have not made any recent changes to my gmail

Can anyone tell me what I should do?

I tried to add the Gmail but always failed.
error: request to https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v4/token failed, reason: connect ETIMEDOUT 142.251.43.10:443
Mailspring version (1.13.3-9a7e1a78)
Any suggestion? Thank you

Solution found here, works perfectly.

Can't add gmail account - This app is blocked

The solution is simple! protip: read the logs This was in my log. 2 NO [ALERT] Application-specific password required: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833 (Failure) Basically you have to create an app specific password for Mailspring. Go to this link (Create and manage your app passwords - https://myaccount.google.com/apppasswords ) & create a new app password specific for mailspring. Name the app password whatever you want. Go nuts and name it something like “Mailspring” then …

works perfectly with https://myaccount.google.com/apppasswords
need to activate 2 factor verification before you generate app passwords
