It doesn't sound like hardware issue. I have Evolution set to access a gmail account, also using that authentication scheme. The first time you attempt to access it, or after some failures, Evolution pops up a mini webbrowser window for you to authenticate with Google: Some login details, confirmation clicks, I can't really remember what, it was a long time ago, and may be different now. It mostly just connects without asking me any questions every day. If you have a HTTP proxy anywhere, perhaps that's throwing a spanner in the works. Look through your email settings, your browser settings, options for your desktop, your general network settings for the whole computer. I suppose we should ask the obvious: Has this worked for you before? -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.80.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Nov 8 15:48:59 UTC 2022 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
