Since I subscribed to the ML with my gmail addy, well... this is
inconvenient to say the least. Meh. 

. . .

So I did get a new code, using the edit accounts stuff. It allowed me
to log in. I did this just two days ago! Fsck Google.

Just want this to work long enough to change my email connect to a new
server that I run, but at my own pace. (That way I can continue to use
my favorite client, with no google hassles.) 

Refreshing the, what, token[?] weekly was a hassle, but if I must do so
every frigging time... not OK.

Anyone have any thoughts as to what changed *this time*? 

Cheers,
