Hello Franz

Please make sure you generate your "App Password" via Google and use it as your password in our software. Also, ensure that you utilize "imap.gmail.com" as the IMAP server. I noticed in our previous email conversation that the attached screenshot showed an attempt to use "mail.vovsoft.com" for Gmail. The occurrence of the [AUTHENTICATIONFAILED] error message is likely due to the use of the incorrect IMAP server.
