When I am trying to sign in my Gmail with existing Geary mail in Freya. It's failed to login. And I don't know the problem. But the username and password both are right.

I dont have idea to integrate email client apps with Freya now. If I need, I will ask a new question. – Kvvaradha Nov 23 '15 at 14:01
