Hi, Since late last year, checkgmail has not been working because gmail changed its authentication protocol (bug#650454). The symptom is that checkgmail just repeatedly asks for login and password information. Luckily a fix was made quickly and has been in use in sid and wheezy since January this year. I would like to apply the same fix in squeeze. Last time I checked, it worked (though I'd of course check again before uploading). Sandro (the maintainer) has said an NMU with that fix (debdiff attached) would be fine. Sensible?
