No Token available in python-social-auth

[entissar12]

Hello, After installing django mailbox, and adding a new active mailbox as below: name : my gmail address url: gmail+ssl://myaddress%40gmail.com:[email protected]?archive=Archived When I run

python manage.py getmail

I get the following error: No Token available in python-social-auth for my gmail address

Can anyone help me please?

To handle the handshake and storing the credentials, use python-social-auth.

@entissar12 May I ask how did you solve the problem? I have the same issue but I am pretty sure I have python-social-auth installed

Ok the documenation is not so clear on that, but basically you have multiple options:

• BasicAuth directly in the mailbox url: imap+ssl://<url_encoded_email_address>:<password>@imap.gmail.com (Don't forget to replace with your credentials)
• Gmail IMAP with Oauth2: It will require that GOOGLE_OAUTH2 is working and that you already connected with this email address. Then you can configure the mailbox URL to be imap+ssl://<url_encoded_email_address>:[email protected]?archive=myarchivefolder

I'm closing that issue because it's really old but feel free to re-open if needed
