Hello
Since 2010, I have used various versions of
nail, heirloom mailx, and s-nail to access my
gmail account.
Currently, I am using "heirloom mailx 12.5",
though I have "s-nail 14.9.23" running on my system
and I could switch to that.
However, recently, Google has announced the following:
Date: Tue, 26 Apr 2022 01:43:05 GMT
Subject: You may lose access to some of your third-party apps
From: Google <no-re...@accounts.google.com>
On May 30, you may lose access to apps that are using less
secure sign-in technology
To help keep your account secure, Google will no longer
support the use of third-party apps or devices which ask
you to sign in to your Google Account using only your
username and password. Instead, you’ll need to sign in
using Sign in with Google or other more secure technologies,
like OAuth 2.0.
So, it looks like with my current .mailrc file,
"heirloom mailx 12.5" and "s-nail 14.9.23" will stop
working on May 30.
Can anyone coach me how to configure my .mailrc file so that
I can continue to use gmail?
In reading through the gmail documents, one part reads:
You can sign in to your Google Account from any third-party
app that has the "Sign in with Google" option.
Does s-nail have this option?
Thank you for your help.
