Hello list,
A recent message prompted me to try creating a google mail account
again, to
collect my gmail.com email, but it still says "This app is not yet
authorised..." (I think that's the wording).
Is there anything a mere user can do to expedite closing this hole?
It's been
open for some months now.

If you mean that's the message your local email app is getting from
gmail when trying to retrieve messages, I suspect it's the "less secure
application" issue. If that's the case, then you either need to use
OAUTH2 to authorize your mail client to Google, or else set the "OK to
use less secure applications" through the settings through the gmail
web interface. gmail simply calls any mail client which does not use
OAUTH2 to be "less secure."
If that's not the case, then we need a few more details about what's
going on.
