Same issue for me, thus what brought me here, except Iâm using Fedora Linux (KDE Plasma) and I canât figure why this is happening. I donât know that itâs disrupting my work. If anyone has a solution please share it.
Hey guys, was browsing these Gmail sync problem topics because of the same problem. I switched to other email clients because of it, eventhough Iâm paying for mailspringâs online services. But nothing works as nice for me like Mailspring. Thunderbird is too slow, Geary doesnât give a unified inbox, Evolution just, not my thing. I even set up my gmails to âwaterfallâ into each other so I could see them all from 1 inbox on the web, but that wasnât what works well for me, managing all the aliases like that. And the what about my Roundcube servers? So, the way I got it working for me is explained below: (P.S. thank for reading my blog, like and subscribe.)
wipe all the mailspring data (sudo apt purge mailspring, and also make sure it gets the ~/.config/Mailspring directory)
secure your gmails with 2-factor (authenticator, SMS, phone prompt etc.) if you havenât already (you canât make an app password unless you have 2-factor enabled)
make an app password for mailspring
set up the accounts as imap
yes, Mailspring, for the 10th time, I really really want to setup gmail as an imap!
check your folders in Mailspring settings. Several of my accounts show (None) for the Archive folder, and others show âArchiveâ so not sure, but things are in fact working as I expect.
If itâs any added benefit, it seems faster now that when I used the âproperâ Oauth login.
Creating the app passwords and 2FA was a bit of a hassle, but overall itâs less time than it took me to configure Thunderbird and the waaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiit for it to process emails.
I had a similar problem, but out of the 3 gmail accounts I use, only 2 give that problem. I noticed that 2 factor authentication was on in the account without problems, and tried that.
It doesnât seem to have worked, so Iâll try this when I get the message again.
Well, I tried making the imap and deleting the whole app and it seems to keeep being an isue, as I just received the same problem again in all the accounts (In the ones I had with imap, the one I left without imap, and even in the one with office 365, which suppossedly didnât have that problem). Strangely, the first account I connected still does not give me any kind of error, weirdâŚ
well, It seems itâs reconnecting time every so oftenâŚ
