Hi, In which Debian package are those "defaults" defined? [ Important SMTP settings for Gmail ] SMTP server: smtp.gmail.com Authentication: Required (Yes) Username: Your full Gmail address (e.g., [email protected]) Password: The generated 16-digit app password (not your normal login password) Port (TLS): 587 (recommended) Port (SSL): 465 Connection security: TLS or SSL ^^ Both tested successfully here with 2FA activated. INFO: For KMail (and git-sendemail) I did set an app-password and use them. Link: https://myaccount.google.com/apppasswords It's good to stop (manually) akonadi-server before upgrading KMail to a higher version. Best regards, -Sedat-
