            Bug ID: 479228
           Summary: Kmail does not respect periods in gmail account names
                    for example firstname.lastname at gmail.com
    Classification: Applications
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 5.24.4

            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR

SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug
symbols.
See
https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports
***
When using a GMail account with a period in the account name, the OAuth
dialogue sends the account name without the period to google, if you correct
the account name then you can log in and KMail will successfully verify,
however this will then cause you to have to repeat this every time you reboot
your computer.

The IMAP Account settings window correctly displays the period, the issue seems
mostly related to how KMail Authenticates with Google's OAuth

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Use the account wizard to log into a gmail account with a period in the
name
2.  Look at OAuth dialogue
3. Reboot System and notice that log in is required again

OBSERVED RESULT
Account Name is missing the period, and reauthentication must occur on system
actions such as reboots and suspend/resume


EXPECTED RESULT
Account Name has period and does not require reauthentication
