Myquestion is, how, if possible can I force the Snipping Tool to open a GMail new email message and attach the snip into GMail instead of Windows Mail or Outlook.
I have already changed my default email app to Google Chrome.
You can assign a hotkey to the snipping tool. As long as you choose a button combination that is not used by windows or another application, it should work pretty good. I used to do that a lot at my old job.
Here is a user who has paid for Evernote's most expensive plan since 2009, with thousands of notes, and who has experienced several bad decisions by this company at different stages and who, despite the self-inflicted sabotage of its developers, has stuck with it.
Any progress on your request mi_cha? I'm having the same/a similar issue. Every time I try to reconnect my EN with gmail so I can clip emails I get:
"Missing required oauth parameter "oauth_token""
This has been ongoing for a while. Thankfully my need isn't near as pressing as yours.
My colleagues and I are migrating our workflow to a set of other tools. Emails (now saved as pdf) and all other pdfs are no longer saved in Evernote, and we are exporting existing attachments to a cloud service. We hope to be able to leave Evernote completely by Jan25.
After the new developments (?!) that are clearly downgrading the mobile experience (we do more than creating shopping lists on the go), we finally got the message that the new owners have other plans for Evernote and we just don't fit anymore.
When clicking on the "Authorize" button on the Evernote for Gmail addon within Gmail, a pop-up window opens to do the actual authorization. During a very brief moment (matter of couple of seconds), the addon itself (on the right of Gmail, not the new pop-up window) is still in mode "waiting"/"thinking" (you see some dynamic action on the frame). After a while, that "dynamic" action stops and the addon is in a more static state.
If you click the Authorize button on the pop-up window once the addon (on the right of GMail) has stopped, then you have the error: Token Mismatch (I guess the dynamic frame is kinda showing some timeout that, once passed (hence the dynamic action stops), the Evernote addon cancels the token on its side).
Well, if you are able to be the fastest "clicker" in the old wild western of internet... and click on Authorize (on the po-up window) before that dynamic action on the add-on frame stops, the authorization seems to be succesful. At least it worked on my side.
Your workaround has worked!!! I've tried it right now and everything ran as you described. Somehow I managed to click all the buttons super fast and yes, the addon is active, duly authorized, but - as you pointed out - veeeery slow. Ok, I can live with that for the time being, hope it improves someday.
One of my main workflows in EN consisted of saving emails (+-150/day now) and tagging them. I have a LOT of saved searches (multiple criteria) and these saved searches build dossiers automatically, which I analyze on a daily/weekly basis. Either I take action myself, or I send it to my colleagues and monitor their work (most of time). The "description" of the case is my job, that's why it is so important to save the email with the addon. Forwarding is not a good solution, because my personal evernote email would be part of the "digital document" (the original email, which is legal proof). Copying/pasting is also terrible, because EN pastes the email as a table, and I spend a lot of time extracting the text and formatting it later on Word. The addon gave me exactly what I needed: searchable text ready to copy/paste and reuse elsewhere.
I really don't know any app which could replace EN for my worflow: nested tags + advanced seach syntax + saved searches + web clipper + gmail addon. Other PKM tools don't have these features and look quite inconsistent.
I know that my user profile is no longer a priority to the owners, as we have clearly seen after the changes in mobile. Notes become less important than tasks and calendars. They have other aims, and they are in their right to do so. But no, they can't leave support tickets of paying users unanswered for months. I am not asking for anything new, I just want something which has worked before and is currently available in the service to work again.
In case EN kills any of the core functions which are essential for me and I have to adapt elsewhere, I don't intend to commit to any other note-taking app like I did years ago to EN. I would have a less automated system, I would probably be less productive, of course, but I would have more control over my information and workflow (as primitive as it might sound):
- thanks - great workaround (if a little bizarre). In my case, had to try a few times before it took -- guess it may be related to the slowness -- it is very slow in actual use -- but maybe it's timing out during the authentication process?
I have been trying to create a small program to send email through
smtp.gmail.com, but it always prompt me that "The operation has timed out". I know there are lots of solutions available on the net but none of it works.
I am using the new Outlook since a few months now, with both a personal Outlook (Microsoft 365) email account, and a GMail account. Both were working fine until a few days ago. Suddenly (probably after the latest update of the app) Outlook has started constantly "disconnecting" from the GMail account. Now, multiple times per day, I am locked out of my GMail account and I have to go through the authorization process with Google all over again: Outlook is asking me to connect to Google, I am redirected to a web page where I have to allow Microsoft services to access my GMail account, then redirected back to Outlook. Sometimes, it will work for a few hours before I get disconnected again. Other times, I am stuck in a loop where I authorize Outlook, get redirected to the app, get locked out again, redirected back to GMail authentification, back to Outlook... and so forth.
We have the same issue. Connecting Outlook to a Gmail account should be trival. We can add a Gmail account as the first account in new Outlook but then we get prompted with every click to reauthenticate. This makes Outlook completely unusable. I can add an exchange hosted account and all that works fine. Trying to add a Gmail account after configuring an Exchange account fails as well. We cannot connect to Gmail accounts using the normal connector nor through the use of an IMAP connection combined with an app password. Nothing works. How can your QA be so horrible?
Have you enabled two-step verification for your Gmail account? We recommend turning on two-factor authentication and using an app password. For step-by-step instructions to set this up see: Turn on two-factor authentication and get an app password,
Clearly something has changed in the Outlook (New) implementation as I, too, am in this continuous loop and have no way to resolve it. Only using Outlook (New) because Outlook stopped working for this gmail account. The fact that Outlook (New) does not support pst files is an added aggravation.
