Re: [Evolution] Evolution, VPNs and Google

[Japhering <japhering gmail com>]

Everything works without a VPN or via the web interfaces. Yet, every time I try to use Evolution across

a VPN, it typically allows receiving emails, but never, every works on sending.

And thus, I'm stumped as to why.

And yes, I start the VPN first, and then bring up Evolution after the tunnel has been established.

What's the best practice for using Evolution across a VPN with GMail ?

It seems that every time I'm on a VPN  either incoming, outgoing or

both  operations fail.   Occaisionally,  I'll get

a Google notice that it blocked an attempted access, but it doesn't 

happen consistently.

Can you access the Gmail account via the web interface? If so, there is

no reason for Evolution to have any problems. Evo (and Gmail) aren't

even aware they are running on a VPN and there are no configuration

options for this. If this isn't working, the problem may be with your

VPN setup. (I've used ExpressVPN without any issues.)

Is this one of the cases, where configure Oauth2  would be of benefit?

No.
