I am using an Android mail client that needs to authenticate the user in order to obtain a password. The way it does this is by temporarily connecting to the user's IMAP server, using the user's e-mail address and mail password; if the server allows the connection, the password is sent; otherwise, it's not. This scheme works fine for most, if not all, IMAP servers. However, if the user is geographically far away from the server where the authentication request is sent, Gmail thinks someone is trying to hack into the user's account and refuses the connection until the user says it's OK. Is there any way for the user to specify in advance that connections made from a given IP address are legit? If not, how else can I deal with this?
