  1. Can't sign in into a gmail account on Windows Live Mail


    HiAll of a sudden I can't sign in to one of my gmail accounts in Windows Live Mail. The password is saved so I don't need to enter it but I am getting the message 'The Server has rejected your login' due to non-network error and the suggestion it was because I was running low on memory. However, I have about 7 GB free RAM at the moment according to the Windows Task Manager. I tried to re-enter the password but it's still not accepted. I am able to login to this gmail account in the browser using the same credentials but not through the Live Mail. My other gmail accounts are working fine in L

  2. Windows Live Mail Rejecting GMail Sign In Windows 10

    Unable to Send or Receive messages for a Gmail.com account

    If you are using a Gmail account with Windows Live Mail, you must create a new password, on the Gmail website, because Gmail has recently updated its security procedure.

    Be aware that the following procedure is what someone who has a Gmail account told to me, I can't be sure it doesn't contain errors. Use your common sense.

    What you are trying to do is sign in to your Gmail account on their website, and there change the password that you use in Windows Live Mail. Gmail demands that you have two passwords, your existing one (used to sign-in on their website) *and* a new one (used
    to sign-in in Windows Live Mail).

    Gmail demands that from now on you must use what it calls an "app password" to sign-in in Windows Live Mail. It thinks Windows Live Mail is an "app"! Once created, you type the
    2nd password into Windows Live Mail
    instead of your original password.

    You allegedly have to do the following -

    1. Login to your Gmail account on their website.

    2. Go to your google account.

    3. Go to security.

    4. Sign into google.

    5. Go to "app password".

    6. Then it will ask your account password. Type in the password.

    7. Specify the application in which you will be using Gmail, which will be "Windows Live Mail" (but Gmail might know it as "Windows Essentials" or "Windows Live Essentials").

    8. Specify your Operating System (e.g. Windows 10).

    9. Then generate the password (which will only work in Windows Live Mail).

  3. Windows 10 Mail forgets Gmail password almost every day

    Reason

    Windows Mail app keeps prompting for Gmail account password frequently with the "your gmail settings are out of date" message—
    According to a comment on this post . . .

    Potential Solutions

    Based on some quick research there may be two options that may help resolve this. . .

    1. Enable the 2-Step Verification functionality and security feature with your Gmail account and then use the 2-Step Verification to verify and trust the Windows Mail app to have access to your Gmail account
    2. Enable and use the Less Secure Apps functionality by turning that ON and using your usual Gmail account password with the Windows Mail app to authenticate
