symbols.

***
Kmail cannot connect to Gmail if 2-factor authentication is set on a Google
Account.  Instead, a less secure App Password must be used.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Kmail
2. Connect outgoing mail to a Google Account

OBSERVED RESULT
An App Password is required.

EXPECTED RESULT
Kmail (and all of Kontact) should use the Online Accounts intergation built
into KDE.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: Fedora 36
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.25.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.98.0
Qt Version: 5.15.6
