Is it possible to use oauth with a G Suite google account? My email address doesn’t end with gmail.com and it doesn’t trigger the oauth flow.
There is a similar issue with Yandex.Mail for domain. If Thunderbird instructions don’t work, then we need to file an issue on GitHub.
The thunderbird instructions are using a password, google is phasing out support for using passwords instead of oauth.
Oh that’s bad…
Enabling oauth2 in android alone took us months and we only got automated/template emails back from google.
Maybe try logging into gmail.com server, but using your full email as a login?
to the initial question: gmail is currently only possible with @gmail.com e-mail-addresses.
currently, this is not possible, you have to use an @gmail.com address for oauth2 or enable an app-password or less-secure-apps.
this won’t work as oauth2 is triggered only by the domain currently.
Thanks for confirming, r10s. I noticed a few weeks ago that my Google accounts stopped working with less secure login—even for fetching email from one to another! So, I will need OAuth2. Is there a feature request I can subscribe to, so I know when it will be ready?
Are 2fa app passwords also broken?
i’d say this thread and ~~Issues · deltachat/deltachat-android · GitHub Detecting G Suite domains for OAuth2 flow · Issue #1425 · deltachat/deltachat-core-rust · GitHub 
actually, no dev is working on that, therefore it is not open for now. @rrthomas if you want to work on that, i would happily reopen the issue. however, i think, most work is probabl in rust-core, not in android.
OK, many thanks!
Closing as now longer relevant.
you can still log in to gmail using “app passwords”, however, apart from that, trying to “play well” with bigtech was not doable in the long run. they seem not to like decentralized and open solution, trying to make things for open apps harder and harder. it is not doable for a project like Delta Chat to pay money, to create videos to target invented buerocracy, and to use closed api.
Delta Chat is focusing on encrypted communication and decentralisation via chatmail relays now.
