I agree that, as users. we should do what we can to stay away of OAuth-based providers, either: (a) using other mechanisms like "app passwords" if available (may work both with fetchmail and mail clients); (b) rerouting mail from OAuth-based providers to fetchmail-friendly IMAP providers (or abandoning OAuth-based providers); (c) running one's owm e-mail host on a VPS (I haven't yet tried that). -- Lucio Chiappetti - INAF/IASF - via Corti 12 - I-20133 Milano (Italy) For more info : http://www.iasf-milano.inaf.it/~lucio/personal.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------ A middle rank researcher at end career is not rich but is in the top 5% of the Italian income tax taxpayers.
