Thanks!  I have my GMail (and all outside email) forwarded to Fastmail.  The 
problem is when I want to send from GMail in the Bat! because GMail insists on 
less secure app status, and cancels the "off" status if I don't send in a 
while.  My ISP email is so inferior that I gave up on it years ago and I don't 
use it at all.

I have had "forward to POP and delete gmail's copy" already activated since 
creating gmail addresses. "allow less secure apps" was sufficient. But even 
with that, I was still plagued with "web login required" if my IP address for 
the actual Internet connection  changed.
Today I have added "forward to a specific e-mail address and delete gmail's 
copy". I should have done this long ago to avoid that "web login required" 
error.

The e-mail  address on one of my own domains doesn't play such games.

I haven't tried it yet, but have been continually aggravated with gmail's 
turning off "less secure app" access if I don't use the gmail account in The 
Bat! for a while.  Hopefully when the time comes it will be workable; otherwise 
I'll have to use webmail - Fastmail in particular, as I like it better than 
gmail on the web and have multiple addresses configured there.
