https://blogs.msmvps.com/jcoehoorn/blog/2017/05/04/what-are-less-secure- apps-in-google/ I think the "less secure" issue is fixed in Ubuntu 17.10. In April, the next LTS version of Ubuntu, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, will be released with all fixes from 17.10. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to evolution in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1737784 Title: systematically fails to connect to gmail account with the correct password Status in evolution package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I installed Evolution just for the sake of trying and help diagnosing an unrelated bug. Not that I intend to use it. The first time I ran it, it asked me to insert an email address for creating an account, so I did, I entered a gmail address and the correct password, but the mail authentication request keeps failing. I have double-checked that the password is correct by logging in to that very same gmail account in a new incognito browser window. I wanted to report this upstream but the version of Evolution is obsolete upstream. So, can't even begin to use it. Fortunately I wasn't going to, so I don't care, but it's pathetic.
