How can I read mail with Kmail any more?
You need to use App passwords as described in Richard's link. https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833?hl=en
Previously only needed for sending mail (smtp password) but now needed for receiving (imap) too because they disabled Oauth for KMail.
But to make it work, you need to change a couple of settings.
in Configure>Receiving>Modify... Go to the Advanced Tab In Connection Settings, don't use Auto-detect with "Gmail" as Authentication. Instead use:
Encryption: SSL/TLS Port: 993 Authentication: NTLM
And use this with your App password given by Google.
