Sorry for the Gmail-specific announcement, we're trying to reach everyone we can. The OAuth 1.0 (XOAUTH) authentication mechanism to Gmail IMAP and SMTP has been deprecated in favor of XOAUTH2 for almost three years now, and will stop being supported after April 20, 2015. Unfortunately, we still have some traffic that is authenticating with XOAUTH, and those apps are going to break after April 20 unless they switch to XOAUTH2. The documentation for XOAUTH2 is at https://developers.google.com/gmail/xoauth2_protocol . You can convert existing OAuth 1.0 tokens to OAuth 2.0 tokens without user intervention by following the instructions at https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth_ref#migration . _______________________________________________ Imap-protocol mailing list [email protected] http://mailman13.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/imap-protocol
