After setting up 2FA K9-Mail Client authentication fails

After setting up 2FA, I cannot longer use K9-mail Client any longer.

When I have removed 2FA I can again log in to the client.

Have you created/do you use an e-mail app password for IMAP4/SMTP? Settings -> mailbox.org -> E-Mail app passwords.

Hello,


I can see that you have already been switched to the new login by us.

So zapata is right. If your account already has the new Login 2.0 and you set up 2FA, then you need to set an application password for IMAP/SMTP to be able to send an receive Email with external Email-Clients (e.g. K9-Mail)

Settings -> mailbox.org -> E-Mail app passwords

Hi


That was what I was missing.

Thank you for help.

I have just opened account yesterday, so I am trying to go through docs and settings.
