Dustin,

Thank you very much for your work in updating the FAQ, an excellent guide. :-)

I would just like to comment on the Trouble-shooting section, above, if I may.

Google will be withdrawing the option to allow access to 'less secure' 3rd party apps, in
May this year.

I have however found a way to get round Google's "complaint" another way.

Having logged into My Account (https://myaccount.google.com/), one of the "tiles" said
"You have Security Recommendations".

Following the link to "Protect my Account", I get a screen indicating Claws has
access, and inviting me to "Remove risky access to your data".  Clicking on the three
vertical dots offers the option to "Dismiss", which when I clicked on it, did, literally
dismiss the warning. And the following day, when I checked my a/c again, I found it now
says "The Security Check-Up examinbed your account and found no recommended actions."

I don't know whether, if I'd not Dismissed it, I would, in due course, have experienced a
problem, but figured at this stage I'd rather not find out! :-)))

Kind Regards,
Rosemary Lockie
