[SOLVED] Akondai/Kmail constant authorisation request

Hello,

since recent updates of KDE, I get constant authorisation requests from Google/Gmail. Before it wasn't an issue.
I have added the akonadi/kmail to the list of trusted apps in the Google account. The secure password is correctly updated in Kmail settings.

Do you happen to receive the same? It's annoying to see all of sudden 2 to 4 requests in one go to authorise akonadi for an access to my google account data.

Thanks for help.

Kr,

Piotr.

Yes, this happens if you skip the "@gmail.com" part of your user name. To fix it, change the user name of the account to be the full email address

Hi Arojas,

I changed the username though this happens still. Even if I shutdown/restart, first thing I receive after I login to KDE is the akonadi_imap authentication request.

Thanks for the help.

Just to clarify, you need to change your username in the account settings, *not* in the Google authorization dialog

Hello,

I think I am puzzled, this is what I changed:

Re: [SOLVED] Akondai/Kmail constant authorisation request

I found what was causing the constant Akonadi login request- it's the which authentication method you use. Choosing GMAIL will cause the "issue". Choosing other methods (maybe less secure) helps.
