There You are the Error Protocoll

Hello,

the whole day I tried to solve this problem.

There is absolutely no result from Google when entering this code above for searching. 

I updated claws Mail vom 3.13.1 to 3.17.3 and looked around on Youtube to get any useful hind.

No chance. Nothing works.

Even the simple screenshot of a googlemail.com to claws mail configuration could help. But all I found was that old, nobody can use it with the new version.

Please give me a helping hand.

As an attachment there is a screenshot from the error report.

Best regards

This is not a support forum, it is  bug tracker. Please use either the users' mailing list or IRC for future support queries. Details here: https://www.claws-mail.org/MLs.php

If you search on a search engine (rather than youtube) for "gmail web login required", you can find many such queries and solutions. For example, http://blog.replymanager.com/2013/09/how-to-address-gmail-error-web-login.html gives some hints in resolving the issue, but you can find several other places offering solutions too here: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=gmail+web+login+required

BTW, https://support.google.com/mail/answer/78754 actually seems to provide solutions.
