Can't add AWS Workmail to Thunderbird (no error to speak of) - thunderbird

Trying to add an AWS Workmail account to thunderbird. It says it sees the config, I put in my password, it brings up the amazon workmail login screen as a smaller-than-usual pop-up modal that asks me to log into AWS Workmail. I am able to do this, but all that happens is that I can operate my email from the modal and thunderbird hangs forever on 'checking password...'
Very frustrating.
Anyone else had this specific issue. Reinstalling thunderbird doesn't work.
Here's a screenshot

Azure "MySQL in App" An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions

I activated “MySQL in app” on Azure and clicked the “Manage” link. A phpMyAdmin login page launches.
Login does not accept any username/password combo including what I find in MYSQLCONNECTSTR_localdb.ini.
Is there any other setup required to access the tool, or is there another tool I could use to create a new db on MySQL in App?
I found the problem. If the website has been stopped and restarted you have to first connect to the website URL from a browser.
Once you do that, the instance is running and you can connect to phpMyAdmin.
It will launch without a login screen.

IBM API Connect developer portal admin link missing

I have setup an API Connect developer portal in the sandbox catalog (I've been following the basic tutorials about configuring an API developer portal found here).
I receive a message saying that i'll get a one time login link so that i can login to the portal as admin and reset my password. However, this never arrives. I have tried configuring the portal a number of times now and this link never comes. Therefore i'm unable to login as admin.
I've also tried using the 'request new password' option on the developer portal itself and entering my email but this also does not work
Is there a way I can retrieve the login link?
This could be a number of things:
1) the IBM emails often get flagged as spam
2) the IBM email server, or rather the people they've contracted this out to, doesn't fully comply with DKIM/SPF security, so if you are on a corporate server that requires this then you won't get your emails.
The workaround I've done in the past is spin up a gmail account and be sure to check my spam folder.

Getting issues via email stopped working after email account password update

We had a fully working Jira Service Desk installation (JIRA Service Desk Application v3.6.1) for years and on Friday we changed the password of the associated email account ithelp#...
Once the change was done on the Exchange server we updated the password on system-Outgoing Mail and system-Incoming Mail, provided the latest password by clicking on checkbox adjacent to Change Password. After entering the password, click on Update button.. The test in both cases says its working.
If we check Mail audit log for ithelp#... then we see.
If we do a test there then:
And the "view log" shows:

Connection error: Can not authenticate to IMAP server: [ALERT] Please log in via your web browser

I am using a php script to connect imap.gmail.com, I have a paid google app account. It was working but after some time I am getting following error
it says I have to login from browser but my CentsOS vps server does not have a browser its command prompt only
I am using mydomain.com
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'ImapMailboxException' with message 'Connection error: Can not authenticate to IMAP server: [ALERT] Please log in via your web browser: https://support.google.com/mail/acco' in /xxxxxx/classes/ImapMailbox.php:51 Stack trace: #0 /home/theluxla/public_html/_backoffice/mailpilot/classes/ImapMailbox.php(42): ImapMailbox->initImapStream() #1 /xxxxxx/classes/ImapMailbox.php(114): ImapMailbox->getImapStream() #2 /xxxxxx/mail.v3.php(28): ImapMailbox->searchMailbox('ALL') #3 {main} thrown in/xxxxx/classes/ImapMailbox.php on line 51
Google replied to me:
Thank you for your message. I understand you're having issues connecting your application with our IMAP server, I'll be happy to help. I didn't want to bother with a call this early, reason why, I'm sending this email instead
In this case, it seems this error is related to the access to "Less secure apps" disabled for the user you're trying to connect via IMAP. Please follow these steps to solve this issue:
In your Admin Console, follow the steps available at this support article https://support.google.com/a/answer/6260879?hl=en under the section "Enabling less secure apps to access accounts".
Log in as the affected user and follow the steps to "Allow less secure apps to access your account" as described at this support article https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255.
I hope this information is helpful. Your case will remain open for three business days and it will auto close if no reply is received. Feel free to reply to this message if you need more help, I'll be happy to continue assisting you.
Sincerely,

In may case, Gmail block my server IP
So do the below step to solve this thing.
You need to first Sign in - Google Accounts
https://accounts.google.com
You probably need to go here and follow the instructions:
https://accounts.google.com/b/0/DisplayUnlockCaptcha
Change Gmail accounting setting:-
Enable IMAP.
Status: IMAP is enabled
https://myaccount.google.com/u/2/security-checkup?utm_source=google-account&utm_medium=web&continue=https%3A%2F%2Fmyaccount.google.com%2Fu%2F2%2Fsecurity
In the “Third-party access” tab turn ON less secure app access
Try to access, you will still be denied
https://myaccount.google.com/u/2/security-checkup?utm_source=google-account&utm_medium=web&continue=https%3A%2F%2Fmyaccount.google.com%2Fu%2F2%2Fsecurity
in the “Recent security events” tab you will find a note about your last access, tell that it was you and you will be able to access
In my case none of the proposed answers helped. All options were checked: IMAP -enabled, Less secure apps - enabled, this instruction: https://accounts.google.com/b/0/DisplayUnlockCaptcha also didn't work.
POSSIBLE PROBLEM: use of multiple Gmail accounts (when you connected to many Gmail account and can switch connections). Also if you use the browser like Chrome with profile signed to one of the Google Accounts. In my situation the instruction: https://accounts.google.com/b/0/DisplayUnlockCaptcha didn't work, because I was primarily using browser Chrome profile of my personal Google account, but was working on connection 3rd party app that was using another Google account.
MY SOLUTION. I've added another Chrome profile (corresponding to 3rd Party Gmail Account), switched from my personal profile to working one. And only after that the instruction of https://accounts.google.com/b/0/DisplayUnlockCaptcha gave the positive result. Hope it will save few hours for you.

How to disable email confirmation in gitlab

I set up a gitlab server in ubantu14.4.3SLT
in my case, I want to set up a git server for local users so I do not need user to sign in with any email confirmation.
How can I disable email confirmation in gitlab? are there any api or something simple to disable it?
This isn't a good answer. But ran across this and wanted to skip for a test instance I have. This is what I did(gitlab 10.1.0):
From the rails console:
User.all.each {|u| u.confirmed_at = Time.now; u.save}
