@bengotow mentioned that he’s working on resolving that issue with Gmail OAuth: Outlook OAuth2 login needed urgently! Password functionality is ending - #19 by bengotow

This issue is a huge headache for us

I’m trying to add Gmail to Mailspring for the first time. I got “This app is blocked” when I tried setting up with the gmail button. I then tried IMAP and got this:

This looks like a Gmail account! While it’s possible to setup an App Password and connect to Gmail via IMAP, Mailspring also supports Google OAuth. Go back and select “Gmail & Google Apps” from the provider screen.

So does Mailspring support Google OAuth or not?

I’m on an Intel Mac 13.7, running Mailspring 1.14.0.

Hi,
I was trying to connect my contacts from google, not importing my gmail. In any case, the 2 factors auth and appassword did not work for me. Waiting for this issue being solved…

FYI I got around this by getting my GSuite admin to add Mailspring as a configured app and it started working again. I know it’s not a universal or particularly convenient work-around, but it does seem to work

[compuguy (Alex Hall)]

Looks like @bengotow Is making some progress. Hopefully its resolved soon-ish…

Can't add gmail account - This app is blocked

Hey folks! Thanks for your patience - it looks like we’ll be through the CASA security audit with TAC Security in the next couple days, and you should be able to add Gmail accounts again very soon. Sorry for the hassle. I’m hopeful that Google sticks with this new process for a few years now that we’ve aligned the app and documentation.

I think the issue is fixed
I could connect my gmail again in mailspring

[compuguy (Alex Hall)]

Yes @ariaieboy, I can confirm that the security audit that @bengotow mentioned a few weeks back is done. I’m able to add a (normal not force approved though GSuite/Google Workspace) account.

[bengotow]

Hey folks! As @compuguy mentioned, the audit has been completed and we got a notification yesterday that our Gmail access has been approved. Thank you all for your patience, it took longer than I expected to get this resolved and I know access to your email accounts is… sort of the whole point of Mailspring.

I’m hoping Google keeps this process in the years to come, and it’ll be easier for us to comply now that we’ve jumped through the updated hoops. I saw in the news that Transmit is dropping Google Drive because of these changing annual security reviews, but we don’t really have the option to do that given Gmail’s popularity.

Thank you all!

Congratulations,
However, when I tick only the contacts sync box, I end up with a message saying it failed to connect - Check your user name and password. (IMAP). “Erreur d’authentification - Vérifiez votre nom d’utilisateur et votre mot de passe. (IMAP)”
What do I need to do from here to sync my contacts from my Gmail acount?

Congratulations and thank you for the hard work! Honestly, this, in my opinion, is the only email client worth paying for. Can’t wait to have calendar support (and hopefully an Android app (someday…)) in the future.
