Hye, I've configured my first gmail address (example@gmail.com) without problems, using the application password generated by my google account (example@gmail.com). But when i try to add my second gmail address (example@personaldomain.com), none of the generated passwords from my google account (example@personaldomain.com) work. I've tried with one generated password from my first gmail account (example@gmail.com) but it's not better. The strange thing is i've been able to add those 2 accounts in outlook 2016 without error. Is there a specific configuration with gmail personal domain name or did i missed something?

Best regards, Kriss

First, enable IMAP if this is a gsuite account. Add the account through Manual config. with the standard gmail settings: imap.gmail.com on port 993, SSL/TLS, OAuth2 authentication, User Name = email address; smtp.gmail.com on port 465, SSL/TLS, OAuth2 authentication, User Name = email address. Cookies must be allowed in TB Tools/Options/Privacy. Enter the regular account password in the OAuth browser window. Delete any obsolete passwords in Tools/Options/Security/Passwords/Saved Passwords.

Ok, i can't try anything before next week, but i think you're right with OAuth2 authentication, i've configured the 2 accounts with standard password :(. I'll confirm you as soon as possible. Thank you for your so fast and clear answer! Best regards,
