You may not have to. According to Google, there are several
exceptions to that and you'll be able to bypass the verification
warning with their blessing. See the list by clicking the "Exceptions
to verification requirements" link at the top of this page:

The last I had checked, the instructions in the Claws Mail FAQ
weren't complete, so if you run into any trouble in setting this up
for Claws Mail, the link that Paul gave you will get you to the Users
Archives where you can do a search to get the most recent
information.

Note that you can also get to the Users Archives by following the
link at the bottom of any message from this list.
