@TheFinn@discuss.tchncs.Gmail may have worked with Kmail occasionally in the past. I think sometimes that involved going back to your Google account and telling it to accept an "unsecure" app. To be honest, I wouldn't do that for an email app.
Elementary has the same problem with its mail app.
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Apparently, the answer is "No, I can't use Gmail with Kmail in Plasma 6".
Booted the current Fedora 40 nightly KDE ISO. Using "Online Accounts" did not set up my Gmail account in Kmail. Kmail found the account in Mozilla's database when I tried to create it directly in Kmail. I was led through a dialog that ended with a display of server info with a "Previous" and a "Quit" button. The account was not created. #KDE #Plasma6
@voxel @linux I do little or nothing to optimize Cinnamon beyond looking at the Startup Applications to see if there's anything I don't need.
Linux Mint's newest release is very nice, with Cinnamon at version 6.04. It's showing the benefits of refining an existing product rather than layering on new features. (If you use touchpad gestures, the new configuration options are useful.)
Fedora's Cinnamon spin is also excellent, if you prefer something other than Mint's Ubuntu-based product.
@Bro666 I tried it on Fedora 40 with Plasma 6. Don't know if it's broken there or not. In any case, the account wizard repeatedly showed me a screen with only a back and quit button when the account hadn't yet been created.
Also kept telling me I had set up 2 accounts and asking if I'd like to unify them.
