  • Does gmail work well for you?

    From ijones@jejejeje.it@21:1/5 to All on Wed Jun 8 17:50:56 2022
    Hello, I use Eudora 7.1 and i have some gmail accounts.
    I am not able to download my email from 2-3 days.
    Yet gmail has always worked well. I can go to the web without problems
    but I have an error when I check.
    My Eudora has Hermes installed and all other accounts are working
    fine. What do you think my problem could be? I am attaching 3 photos
    of the problem.

    I read those messages but I understood a little.
    I ask 2 questions please:
    1) Maybe it's time to change Eudora. If I use Pandora or any other
    more modern software, do I get the same problem with gmail?
    2) Do I have to do the TWO-STEP VERIFICATION and then create a new
    automatic password? I can't understand.
    Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience.

    Pandora allows one to specify OAUTH2 authentication as used by Gmail.

    2) Do I have to do the TWO-STEP VERIFICATION and then create a new
    automatic password? I can't understand.

    Two-step is required so Gmail can verify that you are the person authorized to make changes to authentication information. It is authorizing
    the WEB PAGE for generating the app password.

    You then take that generated password and use it with Eudora (tell Eudora to forget the password you had been using, it will prompt for the
    new one when connecting the first time [if you save passwords in Eudora, otherwise you wilt have to enter the app password for every session).

    My only use for Gmail is a side-effect of having Android phone and Nook tablets -- they require a Google account for access to Google Play
    app-store. It just happens that the Google account is also the Gmail
    account (and is one reason Google is getting snippity about not letting non-Google approved applications to access using the base Google account).

    I'm going crazy and I'm getting tremendous anxiety. If you don't help
    me I'm forced to replace Eudora, even if I don't want to.
    For my account I have activated TWO-STEP VERIFICATION and now I see
    written "On" on the page, but I don't know how to go on. I would be
    grateful if you would tell me what exactly I need to do now. However,
    I inform you that on the Google page under "Your devices" I don't see
    Eudora, but I don't know if it must be there.
    Thank you if you could tell me the next step. Thank you very much

    I wouldn't expect Eudora to show up under "your devices" -- Eudora is not a Google device. I'd expect Android phones and tablets to show up, and maybe the host computer that you are running Eudora on.

    I can not give you any further details because all I have is Google's OWN INSTRUCTIONS. I don't use my Google account for email. All my email accounts in use are part of a paid Earthlink mail-only account (it used to
    be a DSL ISP account but when I moved that DSL was not available in the new location, and I didn't feel like paying Earthlink for a resold ATT u-Verse
    ISP service when I already had to pay ATT for a VOIP phone line [POTS
    service was not available, hence the lack of plain DSL service] and
    DirectTV service -- just bundle the package of all three. I may even have
    an ATT email account with all that that I've never configured.
