Hi,

I was reading my gmail account thru app.
Today I created a new gmail account and I am trying to read it (as per link below) but it shows connection timed in POP_ListCompleted event

Using POP3 to communicate with Android devices

Many developers face the challenge of sending data to remote devices. These devices can be at times offline, sleeping or without proper network coverage. There are several possible solutions. The device can contact a web server which will return the required data. Another solution is to use...
www.b4x.com

Here is what i have done.
1. Added new gmail account in device
2. enabled 2 step verification
3. generated app pwd
4. enable pop and imap for this email in PC

I removed new account thinking only 1 email can be read per device but now both the accounts are showing connection timed out.

Can someone give some clue.

Thanks
Juzer

Thanks Erel,
As you know in order to generate App specific password we need to have 2 step verification done. After doing 2SV "less secure apps... " does not appear.
Can you pls suggest some link to implement OAuth2.

Until yesterday it was working fine with old account. This problem came only after i added one more account and generated password for it.
Now for both the email accounts even if i supply wrong password it waits for a while and gives connection timed out in POP_ListCompleted.

[class][B4X] Google OAuth2

GoogleOAuth2 class is compatible with B4A, B4i and B4J (new). It is no longer possible to use WebView to implement Google's OAuth2 authentication. The solution is to open the default browser and set the redirection uri in such a way that the browser will redirect the response back to our app...

For the needed Scopes check

Choose Gmail API scopes | Google for Developers

Thank You DonManfred,
I saw it earlier will look into it again.

Although I may not be needing it, Because as Erel says option of "Allow Less Secure Apps" will be denied which i am not using.
Pls correct me if i am wrong.

In place of Allow less secure apps, generate app specific password and use

to download email messages, I compiled it so i can check at different times.

Since yesterday i am checking it works fine continuously for 5-6 times but suddenly starts giving time out.

Is there any work around for this, because this way it cannot be used.

Do anyone have any clue
