            Bug ID: 416675
           Summary: Kmail 5.13.1 can't sync with GMail
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 5.13.1
          Platform: Archlinux Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: misc
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: glowackimaciej97 at gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY

I tried to setup kmail with my gmail account. I followed this tutorial:
https://userbase.kde.org/KMail/Account_Wizard. There is an information to 
generate an application-specific password if you have GMail 2-step verification
setup. 

I didn't have GMail 2-step verification but to sync I had to enable it and
follow the instructions.

I think it is a misleading information because it doesn't imply that you should
set GMail 2-step verification but only follow instructions if you already had
set it up.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. disable Gmail 2-step verification
2. set GMail account through account wizard.

OBSERVED RESULT

An authentication error showed up.

EXPECTED RESULT

Should sync Gmail account with KMail.
