I am glad that you got it to work Rosemary :) 

I still cant figure out why, and I am still needing help on why I am
getting a error message at claw's launch saying my password is
incorrect.

I followed the instructions to a T...

But when it came to the part:

"Under restricted scopes select: Gmail API, https://mail.google.com/,
Read, compose, send and permanently delete all your email from Gmail"

That part was no where to be found. I looked at all 25 options. ( 3
pages worth of API's)

I had to go to the bottom of the screen and add that scope by just
adding the line https://mail.google.com in that box and hitting ADD.


Then after I did that I was able to choose:

Gmail API, https://mail.google.com/,
Read, compose, send and permanently delete all your email from Gmail"

at the top of the screen.

I prefer Claws to Evolution and would like to keep using Claws. 


TIA!
