Yet again, I think(hope/pray) I've solved this mysterious change in |
| 8 |
behavior: |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
For years I've configured my email clients (thunderbird, and recently |
| 11 |
claws-mail) to use "imap.gmail.com" as the mail server. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Finally I 'googled' (using DuckDuckGo) for how to configure imap access |
| 14 |
to gmail servers, and discovered that google is now recommending the |
| 15 |
server name "imap.googlemail.com" instead of "imap.gmail.com". |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
I made the appropriate changes in configuration for claws-mail and |
| 18 |
thunderbird, and I think(hope/pray) that the problem is fixed. In my |
| 19 |
preliminary trials it seems to be fixed. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
The mail server did ask me (once) after changing the server name, to |
| 22 |
reconfirm my password, so something did really change. I'm not |
| 23 |
making this stuff up, I promise. |
