| 1471776 | 2020-09-10 23:15:00 | On trying to connect to my gmail account, I got an error message saying: "Your IMAP server wants to alert you to the following: Please log in via your web browser: support.google.com (Failure)" On clicking "OK" I got the following: "Enter your user name and password for the following server: Server: imap.gmail.com User name: (correctly given) Password: ******* (check box) Save this password to your password list. OK / Cancel My wife gets the same response from both her iPad, and from her android smart phone. Is this genuine? |

| 1471779 | 2020-09-11 00:36:00 | Ive had a few cases with customers email where Ive had to login via webmail to get their Outlook(the program) access working . was just some weird security / verification thing . As above , dont click the links, just login to webmail manually. :-) It also might be your Gmail a/c has for no good reason disabled insecure apps . (it happens) support.google.com |
