Subject: | [gentoo-user] [OT] Very recent change in behavior of gmail imap/smtp servers |

1 | Very soon after being invited to open a gmail account, I discovered |
2 | that google offers non-web-browser access to their free (as in beer) |
3 | email servers. |
4 | |
5 | This puzzled me (still does) because it seems to violate google's basic |
6 | business model, which is based on advertising revenue. (I never see an |
7 | advertisement when sending/reading email via smtp/imap, obviously.) |
8 | |
9 | Google has just introduced a 120-second delay before allowing login to |
10 | their email servers. Just in the last day or two, literally. |
11 | |
12 | I can understand the delay for sending email (spammers) but why the |
13 | same delay for reading email? |
14 | |
15 | (My conspiracy theory has been suppressed to allow room for your own |
16 | conspiracy theory ;) |
