Hi Chris, Many thanks for the feedback and the information about OAuth.
I consider Mailplane an "installed" application, that's why it uses the ClientLogin Google interface<http://code.google.com/apis/accounts/docs/AuthForInstalledApps.html> . However, as you pointed out, it could become mandatory to move to the OAuth interface. I appreciate your offer to help, I'll be glad to get in touch.
