Authentification error sending Mail

Post by tschaedl » 14 Mar 2013 20:55

Using "Mailing with Google Mail" action the flow stops with errors. In Log file I find.
javax.mail.AuthenticationFailedException

Do I have to configure something special in/for gmail?
Password I have checked, its correct.

Thx, Thomas

Ok, found the problem. Maybe I'm a DAU maybe help could be improved. The required password isn't the google account pw. You have to create a "anwendungsspezifisches"(application specific) password in google account settings (on your desktop). Using this one all works fine.

The application specific password is required when 2-step auth in gmail is activated:

I will add this to the help page in the next update.
