email I received from Google today saying that they intend to phase out support for username/password authentication for LSA ("less secure apps") using protocols such as IMAP, and require using OAuth authentication instead. I am not aware of any open source IMAP client software that can use OAuth.
I've been using OAuth with Thunderbird for IMAP to gmail, as my workplace has been enforcing that and disabled app password access. I vaguely remember having to upgrade Thunderbird or something to get it going. Glenn
