I've found a solution.  I changed the "Allow less secure apps: ON" to OFF on my
Google settings for webmail and that removed Akonadi from the permitted apps
but that didn't do anything to fix it though so this might not need to be done. 
I then went through the kmail settings for "Receiving" emails on the google
account, on that page is said Authentication is "Gmail" -  i changed this
setting to "PLAIN" and now it all works.  
I've not had the Akonadi/Google dialog again as yet to reestablish
"permissions" to read/send emails via google.
