Cannot connect to gmail (sending e-mails works) with Uncaught (in promise) Error: Timeout connecting to server
-
All of a sudden, imap sync with gmail stopped working. However, sending e-mails still work (mails sent through vivaldi show up in gmail's sent).
The console says:
[ERROR][2024-11-20T19:44:18.628Z][9][[email protected]][imap.gmail.com] Could not connect to server Error: Timeout connecting to server", source: chrome-extension://mpognobbkildjkofajifpdfhcoklimli/background-bundle.js (1) [1437235:1437235:1120/204418.630427:ERROR:CONSOLE(1)] "Uncaught (in promise) Error: Timeout connecting to server", source: chrome-extension://mpognobbkildjkofajifpdfhcoklimli/background-bundle.js (1) [ERROR][2024-11-20T19:44:18.628Z][9][[email protected]][imap.gmail.com] Could not connect to server Error: Timeout connecting to server", source: chrome-extension://mpognobbkildjkofajifpdfhcoklimli/background-bundle.js (1) [1437235:1437235:1120/204418.630427:ERROR:CONSOLE(1)] "Uncaught (in promise) Error: Timeout connecting to server", source: chrome-extension://mpognobbkildjkofajifpdfhcoklimli/background-bundle.js (1)I removed a phone from my Google account and also turned on a phone that I did not use for some time. However, I do not see how it could have an influence.
i tried restarting vivaldi and putting the account offline and online. I guess I could try removing it and reenabling it, that usually helsp, but is there a better solution? Is this a known problem? I could not find anything meaningful with that error message.
Using my phone's client and webmail for now.

Hi, I could only test send from Vivaldi internal 7.1 vivaldi.net account to a stable 7.0 with a gmail.com account, no problems.
I use gmail only for testing so this in may not a good real world test. -
Yeah, I doubt it is something non-setup specific. Still would be nice to know what that error means. I keep getting these esoteric errors with my 100k e-mail.
-
Funny thing - it just synced, but still keeps complaining - but it stopped for 8 minutes vetween 2127 and 2136. So maybe Google has something on their side?
-
Hm, so for 35 minutes ago, it stopped throwing the error. Seems like indeed it was Google that had some problem with Vivaldi (my phone's seemed to work all along).

@felagund Are you using the Gmail app on your phone? If so, it may be is designed to connect to different/internal Gmail servers, rather than the front-facing IMAP and SMTP servers. I know of two other service-specific e-mail apps that do this.
This could explain why the connections on the phone worked, when they didn't on desktop.
-
no. I am using Fairemail. but I then noticed it had issues too (but weirdly after Vivaldi started to work). Anyway, now everything is ok.
