Cannot add gmail account

Update: Still having this issue but I was able to find an alternative by editing the IMAP settings to use my password instead of OAuth2.

I see the same thing on my machine. Fresh installation of Mailmate and gmail oAuth window that keeps reappearing.

I would appreciate if one of you or both of you could try the following. First enable this debug variable in a Terminal window:

defaults write com.freron.MailMate MmDebugXOAUTH2 -bool YES

Then launch MailMate from the Terminal window:

/Applications/MailMate.app/Contents/MacOS/MailMate

Reproduce the issue and then send me the output via “Help ▸ Send Feedback” (if possible).

Thanks in advance!

Adam, I am having the same issue.

Can you explain exactly how you modified the IMAP settings?

I know you go into "Edit Subscriptions" but what specific info are you inputting? Are you adding a Port number?

@Nick: It's not “Edit Subscriptions”. It's “File ▸ Edit IMAP Account ▸ ...” and then disable OAuth2 in order to use a password instead. BUT this may not work since Google does not like password access. You may, at least, need to use a so-called app specific password.

But I would prefer fixing the OAuth2 issue. It sounds like it is a general issue which means I might be able to reproduce it.

Just followed those steps and sent you an email.

Hi Benny,

I went to reproduce the issue as you instructed. Except this time, for the first time, it worked. I can't figure out why but I'm just happy it is working. Thanks.

@Nick: It might not be a completely consistent problem, but I happened to be able to reproduce it. You can “start over” by deleting entries in Keychain Access named like this:

com.freron.MailMate.Google.oauth-token
com.freron.MailMate.Google.oauth-refresh-token

Then you can try to reproduce the problem. If it doesn't work then try updating to the latest test release of MailMate: Hold down ⌥ when clicking “Check Now” in the Software Update preferences pane (r5314).

That last part is advice for anyone with this issue. Let me know if it works or not.

I'm having this problem too.

I don't have any entries in Keychain Access with the prefix com.freron

I had the same problem, also there were no entries in the keychain. Updating to r5315 has solved the issue.

@Ted: Were you able to solve it with the latest test release as well?

@benny I'm sorry, but I don't know how to get the latest test release.

I checked for beta builds when I saw @Filip's post, but I couldn't find that release.

@Ted: It was in one of my other replies: Hold down ⌥ when clicking “Check Now” in the Software Update preferences pane. Currently you should get r5318.

@benny: Yes, after updating to r5318, I am able to access my Google apps email.

Thanks!
