Dustin,

Thanks for the feedback! :)  Yes, I suspect we are going to be notified of this every
seven days... I'm using VPOP3 (https://www.pscs.co.uk/) as my "virtual" server (for
various reasons, mainly historical), and I asked the developer whether he would be
including support for OAuth2. His reply advised OAuth2 was not suitable for "unattended"
use, because access tokens have a limited lifespan, but perhaps optimistically I was
hoping for a little longer than a "lifespan" of 7 days! <G!>
