| Make the naples.net Google Workspace Email Work with Your Email Program |
IMPORTANT !!!
Later in 2024, naples.net Google Workspace will be required to change
email settings to use a modern authorization process called “Oauth2”
instead of just a username and a password setting.
Most modern email client software already has this Oauth2 capability built in,
but account settings on your client software end will have to be changed
in order for your @naples.net email to work. Also the “less secure”
setting which was described below will be eliminated.
If you use Thunderbird for your email client, a good explanation of the
required setup process is detailed here:
The use of this new Oauth2 is currently operational on the naples.net
Google Workspace, and the use of Oauth2 is fully functional and available
if you want to convert now instead of waiting till Google forces the change.
***************************************************
The following below is the older way of setup that is being replaced
by the above red highlighted method and below will be obsolete
later in the 2024.

These changes seem to be necessary in order to have
Thunderbird and Outlook be able to connect to the mail server.
Other email client softwares may have the same problem.

is NOT just “somename”
it IS “somename@naples.net”
ie, your username on this system is exactly what your
naples.net email address is.
STEP ONE:The Google Workspace system calls any access to mailboxes via client software to be “less secure” and requires 2FA (two factor authentication). After adjusting the following setting, your email client software will be

| On the left side click on “Security” |  |
| Scroll down the page until you find the “Less secure app access” and click on it and set to ON |
