Ithink I will give up for a while!, been trying for nearly 3 hours,
changed passwords set up 2 step OK but still K-9 fails to send and still
insists I have a wrong password/username.

When I repeat the setup in K-9 (sending), it tries to verify the server
and come back with:

"Username or password incorrect.(AUTH PLAIN failed (Negative SMTP
reply:535 5.7.8
http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?answer=4257hj10sm20383607wjc.48
- gsmtp))"

Can this only meen I still have a typo!!?

Isn't best practice to use TLS via port 587? (RFC 6409)
It is designed as a first hop for email clients.
Port 465 is 'deprecated'

Peter, check your port numbers. SSL is on 465, STARTTLS is on 587. See:

I seem to recall (when I set up K-9 back in 2010), it did like Thunderbird
does and looked up mail providers' settings from an online database based on
the domain name. It worked, and has continued to work, so my settings file
has moved from device to device without modification since then.

So, quite possibly...

<https://support.google.com/mail/answer/78775?hl=en> seems to be the most
official page on Google's SMTP service that I can find.

Thanks for the info (been out).

I did find the info on different using port 587 which I tried before
posting, but that did not work either.
I will have another go later after reading links and redouble checks for
typos!

I have now spent over 10 hours with different combinations and must give
up for a while!

I checked on 2 step but that needed me to generate another password for
K-9 (using my laptop) which still did not work so switched it off as it
was just another layer of likely problems.

Back to being able to send by gmail and not K-9, BTW I did change
server: smtp.gmail.com but that did not work either.

Will try later this week.

PS just a thought as I was finishing, could this problem caused by my
lan router or should I only be using this through my mobile network!?

(straws and clutching seem to be relevant here)
