I just changed a couple of security (ha!) settings in my google account
and disabled access by "less secure apps". Then I tried to read my email
using mutt. It failed and I got a nice email from google informing me of
the blocked sign-in attempt and saying:
"You can switch to an app made by Google such as Gmail to access your
account (recommended) or change your settings at http://... so that
your account is no longer protected by modern security standards."
Please, *do* tell me more about your "simply wonderful" java-scripted
browser-dependent cloud-based memory-hogging broadband-needing SAAS
world, it sounds like such fun!
You are on a mailing list of a heavily security-oriented OS (and
community), proselytising about a computing model based on blindly
downloading source code that will run locally (and doing this every time
you want to use an "application"). Good luck.
