Hi I recently updated my google preferences and limited set "allow unsecure apps" to "off".
Later I tried to login to gmail with mutt and found it no longer worked as imap attempted AUTHENTICATE PLAIN over port 993 (SSL). I'm a little confused about why google consider this unsafe. I'd like to understand this better so if anyone has pointers to reading up do please post, however my primary reason for posting is to ask if it's possible to use mutt to comply with gmail security *without* having to turn on "allow insecure apps". Perhaps someone will post telling me google are wrong and it's fine to turn this off. I'm open to hearing this also provided I understand why. Regards, Ben F
