Hi I have just downloaded eM client and am trying to configure it for gmail but I get an error message saying the gmail server won’t accept my credentials. I have checked my gmail account and all seems OK there-I can still sign in from a web browser. I have even chnaged the password but no joy. Same thing happened with Thunderbird. Anyone help?r

Hi Chris, are you using the two step verification option on your Gmail account? If you are please make sure to generate an app specific password for use with eM Client and setup the application using the generated password.

If you’re not using the two step verification, please make sure you have this option set to enable on your Google account, https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps, to enable access while using your regular web access password.

Thank you,
Paul
