I just re-enabled this settings and are back to SSL/TLS / clear text but
one of the benefits of the recent kdepim upgrade is being able to disable
that setting finally (and not getting the annoying reminders from Google).
And I changed the IMAP server to imap.googlemail.com and fixed my password
as well but still, not being able to read e-mail using SSL/TLS / gmail :-(
I reported my bug upstream
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=399389
but so far no response.
Kind regards,
Frank
