I keep getting error messages "Authentication failure while connecting to server imap.gmail.com"

I have reinstalled the app twice but still facing the same issue.

I have allowed cookies aas well but still getting same error.

Earlier, the issue was like once a week. Now it happens every hour.

More info will help. DId the account work yesterday? Could you post screenshots of incoming server setting and smtp server setting? Have you tried reauthenticating?

I didn't have any issue today. Everything worked fine.

I have tried reauthenticating before but it didn't work.

As requested, attached are the screenshots of server settings.

OK, I'm at a loss. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't is what I'm understanding. All I can think of is to verify in settings>privacy&security that you have ticked to accept cookies.

That' correct. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Like today, I had no issue.

So i guess the issue is resolved for now.

Did u check my server settings? Is it all good?
