How to get around Gmail authentication problem – Error 800cccd1
Madbot says:
Changed my gmail password and between the multiple devices, some didn’t have the password change in time and the gmail account seems locked out. Instead of retrieving emails, it kept returning saying the server was not accepting the credentials and returning error:800cccd1.
Tried changing gmail account password, disabling/enabling imap, etc, nothing worked.
It turns out that after some specific type of failures, Google “locks” your account. To unlock yourself, try login to Google with the Captcha check to confirm you’re human and you know what you’re doing. It worked for me.
Here is the link to Google Captcha check.
If you find this entry useful or can do with some additional info, leave me a comment.

I recently had my gmail account hacked. I changed my password and I chose to sign out all other users. Seems that Google locked the account from all other 3rd party access. The Google Catpcha check worked perfectly for me.
Thank you. The Captcha check worked and now my WLM is workign again.
Hi Shiv,
Glad you found it useful.
It didn’t work for me. I still get exactly the same thing. Weird thing: Windows Live Mail (Windows 7) has the problem, and so does iCal (Mac OS X Lion), but Mail (on the same Mac) doesn’t have any problems.
Hi Hiddos,
Thanks for dropping by. I assume you made sure to check that the right ports are configured in Live Mail and iCal to access your google account?
HI Madbot,
I’m really confused when meet this error, like u before but after read this article and I do it successfully.
Thanks buddy

Hi Madbot,
Thanks for this very interresting information. I just tested it and it worked fine. I can finally use my gmail account with Windows Live mail !!! I will publish it on my website (in french)
Kind regards.
