    I’ve followed the instructions on how to set up Postie but I keep getting the error below. I’ve double checked the user id and password several times.

    I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. Any ideas how to get this working?

    Connect to Mail Host
    Postie connection: sockets
    Postie protocol: imap-ssl
    Postie server: imap.gmail.com
    Postie port: 993
    Unable to connect. The server said: IMAP – Could not connect to IMAP server imap.gmail.com on port 993. Array
    (
    [0] => A0002 NO [AUTHENTICATIONFAILED] Invalid credentials (Failure)
    )

    Exact same message!

    Connect to Mail Host

    )`

    When I change to “curl” instead of sockets,
    I get
    curl:
    fetch_mail: Unable to write data to IMAP server imap.gmail.com on port 993

    Thanks

    Same. Please advise.

    Please try setting up an “App Password” Gmail has restricted the use of username/password for some types of accounts.

    That worked! It is now posting correctly!

    Thank you for your help!

    Same problem. Gave up on gmail. Trying on yahoo mail with the app password enabled for less secure apps and not able to connect. Please advise
