GData Plugin -- Won't Authenticate w/Google Correctly

[brendoncdrew]

So, the GData plugin in Claws mail doesen't work because it won't correctly Authenticate with google... Says "Sign in with Google is Temporarly disabled for this App;This App has not been verified yet by google in order to use google sign in."

Seens ti be a problem with the OAuth Verification see here for more info: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50509667/sign-in-with-google-temporarily-disabled-for-this-app

Basiclly someone affilitated with development just needs to go sign up for oauth verification for the App/Plugin so we can actually be able to use it again.

Ah, this might be tricky. I construct the flatpak package from a fresh build, so this might be specific to the flatpak-package. Have you tried the same operations with a prepackaged claws-mail, for example one provided by a linux distribution?

It would help me a lot to know if this problem is specific for the flatpak-package or something general for the Claws-Mail application.

In case you're still interested, you may want to check this test package: https://github.com/flathub/org.claws_mail.Claws-Mail/pull/12#issuecomment-638501266

It is rebased onto a different base image - which is not relevant for your issue - but also includes a newer version of some shared modules. One in particular, libsecret, may be relevant to this issue.

I get that now on XUbunutu Focal, Claws Mail version 3.17.5 via apt-get.

After "Click here to open the Google authorization page in a browser", I can choose my account, but then in the browser I have Google's error "Sign in with Google temporarily disabled for this app/This app has not been verified yet by Google in order to use Google Sign In."

Okay, that means that this issue is not caused by the flatpak-package itself, but rather is in the source code. I suspect Bug 4338 - GData Plugin – Won’t Authenticate w/Google is your issue.

Some issues regarding OAuth authentication have been solved in Claws-Mail 3.17.7. The test-package being prepared in PR https://github.com/flathub/org.claws_mail.Claws-Mail/pull/14 should have these fixes. You can try this version - once it is built - to see if it fixes your issue.

I'm closing this issue due to having no further information on whether this is still a problem, and assuming that the authentication problems are truly fixed in 3.17.7 this should not be an issue anymore.

This is still an issue in Claws Mail, version 3.17.8.

I'll have another look at this. Thanks for reporting.

I can't use the GData Plugin with Claws-mail 3.18.0 either. OAuth2 has not been set up. Is that required?

Yes. This is the critical step.

I will close this again. The steps in the initial GData plug-in dialog need to be followed and successfully completed for Claws-Mail to get the necessary authentication. Only if completed, can Claws-Mail access the servers.
