Gmail issue

[marine1]

Need some help,
I have another Gmail address I need to add to my main one.
I have managed to add it here with no problems:



I have enabled POP


I have given my other main account access here, on the new alternate account:

Now when I want to check mail on the main account, it does not allow me to add it, it keeps saying usernam and password dont match - I have changed the password 10 times and it still doesnt work:

I have tried both these options



It is impossible the details are right.

Any suggestions?

Important: App passwords aren't recommended and are unnecessary in most cases. To help keep your account secure, use "Sign in with Google" to connect apps to your Google Account. An app password is a

support.google.com

This is to go directly to the app password page

Sign in - Google Accounts

Is there no way to use IMAP instead of POP in Gmail, POP is kinda ass.
