It's really not necessary to change provider unless you want to. The
Oauth set-up with Gmail is a nuisance but works fine. You only need to
do it once to generate your ClientID even if you and your wife both want
to use Claws. People are talking about the app-password route too -
I've not tried that but others say it's working.
