Error Code: 0x8000000b

Question

Hi, I'm trying to add my Gmail to the mail app and it would connect and keeps coming up with Error Code: 0x8000000b. I've tried restarting my computer but it still doesn't seem to connect.

Thanks.

Answer 1

This seems to be happening to several users, my solution is to manually set up the account rather than allowing the mail app to enter the server details under the mail app & turning on the feature to use less secure apps within your Google account.

Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server - Requires SSL

imap.gmail.com

Port: 993

Requires SSL:Yes

Incoming Mail (POP3) Server - requires SSL:

pop.gmail.com

Use SSL: Yes

Port: 995

Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - Requires TLS or SSL

smtp.gmail.com

Port: 465 or 587

Requires SSL: Yes

Requires authentication: Yes

Use same settings as incoming mail server

Full Name or Display Name: [your name]

Account Name or User Name: your full Gmail address (******@gmail.com). Google Apps users, please enter user...@your_domain.com

Email address: your full Gmail address (******@gmail.com) Google Apps users, please enter user...@your_domain.com

Password: your Gmail password

If you have two-factor authentication on your account then an app specific password will be required instead of the account password.

Change account access for less secure apps

Change your settings to allow less secure apps into your account.

Go to the Less secure apps section of your Google Account.

Turn on Allow less secure apps. If you don't see this setting, your administrator might have turned off less secure app account access.
