Re: Is my legacy TB! version usable with the upcoming Google security changes please?

[Adrian Godfrey]

Version 10 works, but you have to jump through some hoops with a web browser 
when you first add a gmail address to The Bat.
Unless you actually need to send from a gmail address, you can fix retrieval of 
mail at www.gmail.com and forwarding everything (and delete from Google servers 
afterwards) to an e-mail address on a domain that doesn't break every e-mail 
client on the planet.

The threshold question remains, what is the latest version of The Bat that will 
support the new security changes annouced by Google and which become effective 
in just two weeks?

The 50% discount is nice but does me no good, since I have version 9.5.1, but 
purchased it BEFORE the date for which one may receive a free upgrade to The 
Bat. So, the question remains, what is the oldest version of The Bat that will 
support the new protocol, and will even the newest version support it?

Google will require OAUTH 2.0 from 30 May on. From which version on does TB! 
support this?

IIRC, first version The Bat! with Google OAUTH support was 7.x, so your version 
is too old and you will have to upgrade.

With v10 released yesterday, Ritlabs is offering 50% discount from the full 
price for upgrade from versions prior to 9.0, the upgrade process must be 
painless as the only thing is needed is just installation of the new version 
(it is always recommended to have a backup, of course).

Good afternoon all, today I received this message from Google. I use an elderly 
version of The Bat! and need to know if I can still use it when Google 
implement these security changes, as I have one GMAIL  account I use TB! for, 
thanks. I am using v5.8.10 on Windows 7 64 bit Pro. Is such an elderly version 
still painlessly upgradeable to the current one if required?
