Question Authentication error while connecting to your email provider

[Barbarian-CBX]

I keep getting this notification...
Authentication error while connecting to your email provider. I tap on it and get Linked Account Settings. I can't do anything with it. It says it's Gmail but I don't see it anywhere on my Gmail app.

Are you importing your AOL email directly to your Gmail account? Or do you use your AOL address as your Google account address?

Yes. I import my AOL mail directly into my Gmail account. I can still receive AOL mail into my Gmail. So it's connecting. The notifications just stated two days ago.

In the Gmail website settings, try removing your AOL email, then add it back again. Make sure you're using an app password, rather than the password you created for AOL -- services like AOL and Yahoo typically require an app password when channeling through another service like Gmail: https://help.aol.com/articles/Create-and-manage-app-password
