Lets keep this open until the upstream bug has been fixed. For anyone else having the same problem, this can be worked-around per the Geary FAQ:
Google now requires email clients implement its proprietary protocol to sign in by default. As a result, you may need to update your Google settings to allow Geary to connect to your GMail account via IMAP. The setting to change depends on whether you have 2-Step authentication enabled for your Google account: If 2-step verification is enabled, you should create an App Password, and use that in your Geary account settings: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833 If 2-step verification is not enabled, you will need to allow access for "Less Secure Apps": A future version of Geary will support Google's proprietary protocol. ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #746705 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=746705 ** Also affects: geary via https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=746705 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Summary changed: - geary doesn't load gmail account + Problems connecting to GMail account ** Changed in: geary Importance: Unknown => High ** Changed in: geary (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1730919 Title: Problems connecting to GMail account To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/geary/+bug/1730919/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
