Hi,

I used long time three gmail accounts as storage.
Last weekend one of these stopped working with Alpine.
Earlier I used 2.25. Now I tested with Alpine 2.26.
I tested both Linux and Windows, and two different computers, home and
office. The problem stays.
Alpine gets a link for Google authentization.
I opened the link, typed passwords and a key Google sent to the phone.
After that, at the screen there is:
Localhost failed to create connection / ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

What could be the issue? I used that Google account with Alpine several
years and the account itself works if I test it with Chrome or Edge.
But Alpine does not connect to that account.
With similar configurations/settings, two other Google accounts work.
