I checked the Network Log - and you were right on. There was an authentication
error. My password was set to my GMail password - and that no longer works!

Google now has application specific passwords (which they generate). After I
created an Claws Mail application entry, Google generated a unique password for
use with Claws Mail. I applied that password to the GData plugin and
authentication worked perfectly.

Thanks for the wisdom! Perhaps the need for an "Application specific Google
password" should be mentioned in GData.

Cheers,
Lyle
