Android Question Issue With Reading Gmail Mails

[Juzer Hussain]

Hi Everyone,
I tried below example in my android

Using POP3 to communicate with Android devices

Many developers face the challenge of sending data to remote devices. These devices can be at times offline, sleeping or without proper network coverage. There are several possible solutions. The device can contact a web server which will return the required data. Another solution is to use...

In POP_ListCompleted i get log msg "java.lang.RuntimeException: Error during login: -ERR [AUTH] Application-specific password required: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833"

My code looks like this

pop.Initialize("pop.gmail.com", 995, "[email protected]", "mypassword", "pop")
pop.useSSL = True

Can someone help pls.

I have enabled POP setting in gmail settings also.

What's the problem? The error message from Google seems to give you all info you would need to solve this.

Hi Sandman,
It says create an app specific password.
I read the whole thread for no one it was required to create a password for a particular app in mobile.
So i guess I am missing something else.

It says create an app specific password

Did you create an app specific password?

Application-specific password

Gmail doesn't accept your primary password of your account, you should add app-specific password from your google account setting & use it.
