            Bug ID: 446949
           Summary: kmail cannot access gmail account
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 5.19.0
          Platform: Neon Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general

SUMMARY
***
I've been running kmail and accessing my gmail account for years, however after
a recent update a few days ago I get the following message "Unable to login to
the server "pop.gmail.com".
Could not login to pop.gmail.com.
The server terminated the connection immediately. "

I've tried generating a new  app password, multiple times, checked all the
server info, still can't receive emails. However here's the odd thing. I can
send emails via the gmail account.

This all started happening after the recent KDE neon upgrade to 5.23.4. My
gmail password is stored in my KDEwallet which I can login to and see the
passwords. Re-entering the password manually still doesn't work.

***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Use an existing gmail account that's already setup in kmail2 and try to receive
email. Gmail server disconnects immediately.

OBSERVED RESULT
Cannot receive gmail emails but can send via gmail smtp.
