Login problems for some people

[GoogleCodeExporter]

A few people contacted me that they suddenly get "login errors" when using 
SMS Backup.

As they did not change their login settings and I did not change anything 
in SMS Backup, it's likely that there was a change on the Gmail side.

Some other info specific to my issue:
April 30th was the last day I was able to auto sync and have been using this 
since
Jan 15th without issue and no modification.  I pretty much, set it and forget 
it.

I have the same problem: actually not working and no credentials modification 
made.
Using CyanogenMod-4.2.5.

I found a solution for me:
I used my Google Acc Login data, as well as my email adress there (@gmx). With 
my 
@gmail adress it works. Seems to make a difference regarding the IMAP 
connection.

ElysiumSoR, can you elaborate a bit?... I get the same kind of login error 
(suddently
asks me to check imap and username+password) and i'd love to try your solution 
but I
don't understand what you've written about "Google Acc Login data" and several
different e-mail addresses. Thanks a lot! :)

I have this same issue.  Getting a login error.  Have tried multiple basic 
changes 
(changing email accounts, passwords, etc.), have checked gmail settings, have 
reinstalled program.  Nothing works.  Seems to have stopped working on Feb 2, 
2010.

I am affected by the same issue. I just flashed my HTC magic with the lastest 
firmware 
from HTC (the one with Sense UI) and when I reinstalled SMS backup it now tells 
me that 
I should enable IMAP and retry username and password. IMAP has been enabled for 
years 
and no username or password changes. Even tried with or without "@gmail.com" 
with any 
luck.

Interestingly I just found it works but only using WIFI and not 3G.

I work for Tmobile and I have a customer that is getting the error message 
after downloading SMS 
Backup.... Log In Error..Please make sure you enable IMAP in your Gmail 
Settings and check your user 
name and password.....we have checked the IMAP settings and it is enabled, even 
changed the 
password to his gmail and uninstalled and rebooted and installed again and 
still the same error. We 
reccomend this app a lot to our customers so its very frustrating. Nothing 
seems to be working.

christoph wrote me when i had this problem and gave me this link:
http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2008/10/advanced-imap-settings-for-gmail.html
- I added that imap-thing from labs and saw that the SMS label already had a 
tick in the box - so i removed the tick, put it there again, and then tried 
backing up from my android - AND IT WORKED!
hope this helps

I was using non-default apps to access email (Gmail app, Yahoo mail app, K9 
mail) and had this problem. I had not set up any accounts in the default email 
app (which is just called 'Email'). After I went into this app and added my 
gmail account as per these instructions: 
https://support.google.com/mail/bin/static.py?hl=en&ts=1668960&page=ts.cs&rd=1, 
SMS backup then worked.

SMS Backup+ didn't work on my Optimus T on T-Mobile. Found that I had to log in 
to Google Play and push it from my laptop in order for it to work fine.

Keep getting "Login error" after entering correct Google account and password 
with IMAP enabled on that account from my Galaxy Mega phone.
