It seems Gmail is decomissioning username-password authentication.
Clients will have to use "Sign in with Google". What happens to all download-email programs? I'm looking for one, in fact. If I want to
pull my mail via POP or IMAP today, what would I have to use?
I'd like to read my mail with Gnus (using djb's Maildir storage). I
can't stand Gmail any longer. I'm done.
(*) Other questions
This ``Sign In with Google'' means the downloader would always have to
ask me for passwords? I could never just pull gmail without being asked
for credentials? (Very annoying.)
