Gmail account access: Outlook OK, MW not OK

Sat Jan 08, 2022 5:59 am

Up until this morning, we have been able to access Gmail account (IMAP) from MW without difficulty. As of this AM, MW is unable to logon to the Gmail IMAP server. However, Outlook (with what I believe to have the identical definition for our Gmail account) is able to access the Gmail IMAP server without difficulty.

We have Gmail account configured to allow access from unsafe apps. Gmail 2-step verification is turned OFF, so there is no alternate password set up.

We are in a different physical location (by thousands of miles) this AM.

Any ideas as to what's causing the problem? Suggestions for further problem determination steps?

Thanks!

Try first going into Settings >> Accounts >> select the GMail account on the left then the IMAP tab on the right >> hit Refresh and see if that loads the folder list.

The error is referring to "IMAPservice::GetFolders - SocketException - GetLine failed() failed with code 0: "
So that means MailWasher is logging into the account OK, but something is going wrong when it tries to get the subfolder list of the account.

If the above fails, try removing the account from MailWasher >> restart the program >> add the account back in.

It'd be very helpful if you could post an update about whether you were able to resolve this, in case anyone has similar issues in the future!

Try removing the account from MailWasher, restarting the application, and then adding the account back in if the previous steps don't work.
