Login with this username/password failed - for newly created googlemail account (sandbox)

[BrianMcC]

Hello,

I believe (after much digging around), that in order to create the 5
sandbox clients (client_n+login_id), a call to getClientAccounts() on
the account service must be made. I make the call with the following
code:-

Dictionary<string, string> headers = new
Dictionary<string, string>();

//HEADERS NOT SHOWN HERE BUT SET UP EXACTLY AS PER
DOCUMENTATION.

AdWordsUser user = new AdWordsUser(headers);
user.UseSandbox();

AccountService accountService =
(AccountService)user.GetService(AdWordsService.v13.AccountService);

string[] cacc = accountService.getClientAccounts();

I get an exception "Login with this username/password failed". I can
log into google mail with the username/password. As a test I tried
changing the case of the password and then got an authentication
error, so it seems that the username/password is authenticating before
the call to getClientAccounts.

Help with this would be much appreciated, thank you.

Well, well, well...

The email account that I created in order to test in the sandbox is of
the form bla...@googlemail.com, and exhibits the behaviour, as
described by me above. On a whim, I tried changing the "email" header
to bla...@gmail.com, and guess what, it works!!! So, in summary, the
user authenticates with "bla...@googlemail.com" but the call to the
service method fails with"Login with this username/password failed".
Changing "googlemail" to "gmail" works. Such is life.
