Well, not so much, apparently. I am now back to being able to send, but not receive, after yet another password prompt appeared some time after everything started working again. By that time I had closed the page with the code on it, so I could not enter it again. Everyone tells you to use this two-factor authentication, but no one lays out steps for making it work with certain mail clients. I'm about to revoke access for the third time, generate a new code, re-enter it everywhere I can think of, then keep the code around for when mail pops up that password dialog yet again. If this doesn't work, I see no choice but to disable this security feature, which would really be a shame. On Dec 17, 2012, at 7:00 PM, Ricardo Walker <[email protected]> wrote:
