Hello!

I have a frustratingly general question, and it's one more based on =
curiosity than need. I've been a fan of SquirrelMail for many years, and =
have noticed recently that you can no longer connect to your Gmail =
account using it. I understand there's really no practical point in =
doing this - just use gmail's webmail or a pop/imap client, and I think =
there's a pop fetch plugin for SQ too, not sure if it has the same issue =
though.

so please forgive me for not being specific or being able to upload code =
in question - i was just wondering if anyone knew why Gmail hates SQ =
these days? why doesn't the way SQ logs into an imap server work with =
gmail anymore? when I set up the config file with all the correct =
details and go to log in, it tells me i entered an incorrect user name =
or password, then moments later an email arrives in my gmail inbox that =
reads:

Someone just tried to sign in to your Google Account ****@gmail.com from =
an app that doesn't meet modern security standards.
i've read google is renowned for not following standards, not sure if =
that's true, but I'm just wondering why gmail cracks a wobbly at SQ =
these days when I definitely remember it working a few years ago. like i =
said, i have no practical purpose to access my gmail with squirrelmail, =
but was curious about what's changed

food for thought!

peace and blessings=
