OAUTH request repeating

Sat May 17, 2025 4:29 pm

I've been getting the OAUTH request every few days. Although I give the pw for the named account and click on the box that follows, and then the site says it will be covered until a date in the Fall, it comes up again a few days later. Anyone else experiencing this?

Yes, seen this a couple of times.... can you first please open MWpro and click Help>>About, if not using version 7.15.33, install this from here:

https://www.firetrust.com/products/mail ... o/download

Restart MWPro and see if problems persist.

If they do, I recommend you try deleting the problem email account first:

Settings>>Accounts, click the account>>Remove Account.
Click File>>Exit to close MWpro, then re-open it.

Then setup the account/s again:

In Mailwasher Pro click, Settings>>Accounts>>Add Email Account, type any name for this account you like, enter your email address and click Save.
Click the Incoming tab and click "Sign in with Microsoft/Yahoo/Gmail", follow the prompts and you'll be asked for permission to allow MW access to the account, ensure you agree to this.
(NOTE: if "Sign in with Microsoft/Yahoo" does not show, just enter your normal email account password and click Save)
If it shows successful, click Save again on the outgoing tab, refresh folders on the IMAP tab (IF asked) and you are all set.

Please let me know how it all goes....

I am using 7.15.33 and MWP gets restarted virtually everyday because I shut down the computer, hence Windows, every night. And I did uninstall and reinstall the google email address about a week ago.

OK, if you did remove and re-setup the account exactly like the above, (not manually typing in the server etc) delete the account again, then click Help>>User Files, exit MW, (file>>exit) then in that user files folder that opened, rename the cache folder to cache2

(this will make MW create a new cache folder, however will reset your black/friends lists, learning and recycle bin, if you want to revert to this old folder, just delete the new cache folder and rename the cache2 folder to cache)

Restart MWPro and setup the gmail account again as above.....?

Are you using 2FA or managing your account through a third party app? I was wondering if this is a browser cache bug or a third party app that is conflicting with the OAUTH session?

No, just Gmail directly and no 2FA.
