After entering gmail address, there is a progress bar “Checking incoming server settings”. After about 15 seconds, popup “Mail has stopped, Open app again” appears.
I had working gmail, but since about Oct 28 no new messages. Same as above happened when I tried to re-login. I deleted the gmail account, then tried to add again with above result.
e.email and other imap email accounts are still working fine.
I had the same issue recently with my Gmail accounts.
Sometimes, I was able to use for a few days before I had to delete it and add it again. Had some crash too.
Unfortunately, I don’t have a solution for you.
I started migrating away from Gmail 1 years ago, I changed my email address on few sites left I was still using daily with Gmail. For the rare case I still need to access my Gmail account, I use a browser.
My solution would be to set up your Gmail account to forward all emails to your e.email account. Or set up a free Protonmail account and use that. Eventually you can ditch GMail.
My thoughts as well. Sort of defeats the purpose of using /e/ really.
I found the solution here: https://gitlab.e.foundation/e/apps/Mail/issues/5
Delete the google account (added by MicroG) from Settings/Accounts.
Now it is possible to add and use a gmail account.
To all you who say “don’t use gmail”, that is a separate issue. If this is truly desired by /e/, then the Mail app shouldn’t offer to set up a gmail account, and then crash doing so. (BTW I’m not suggesting I’d support such removal)
There are degrees of getting away from the big G…
