[Users] Gmail OAuth2 Authorization Errors

[Bernard Moreton]

I hope that the developers can fix the problem with the latest Google fence,
but I get the feeling that Google has a history of changing defences, to make life difficult for what used to be "normal" email usage.
In the meantime, I admire those who are prepared to reset everything every 7 days on each and every account,
but I don't have the time or the patience!

Claws-Mail is more important to my workflow than is Gmail, so I've set up alternative accounts, "just in case".
And I have to say that my chosen alternatives seem to work much faster than Gmail, using the same Claws settings.
I really don't want to change my Google accounts - so many organisations (mis-)treat an email address as a personal ID - but if necessary, I will.

Encouragement to the developers, then!  They do a super job;  and we can't beat Gmail defences without them.
Power to their elbow!
