My usual POP access to my G-Mail was blocked this AM, with a message
referring me to the following explanation:
If an app or device doesn’t meet our security standards, Google will
block anyone who tries to sign in from that app or device. Because
these apps and devices are easier to break into, blocking them helps
keep your account safe.
Some examples of apps that do not support the latest security
standards include:
The Mail app on your iPhone or iPad with version 6 or below
The Mail app on your Windows phone preceding the 8.1 release
Some Desktop mail clients like Microsoft Outlook and Mozilla
Thunderbird
What exactly is Google considering insecure about Mozilla-based mail
clients?
To restore access I had to change a G-Mail setting to allow access by
insecure apps.
Probably because it's an old version of SM.
I'm using the latest release version, 2.49.1.
Hmm, the other day I got a security notice from Google about "We’ve
upgraded the Security Checkup to give you specific, personalized
recommendations to strengthen the security of your Google Account." and
when I checked it out it had to do with giving/disabling App Permissions
to some apps. Could it be that? Log into the Web UI of your GMail
account. Once you're logged in, go to
https://myaccount.google.com/security-checkup. Onec at the Security
Checkup page, click on Third Party Access and make sure it's on. If
that's already on, go to the Settings for your GMail account and click
the "Forwarding and POP/IMAP" tab and make sure POP Download is not set
to Disable POP.
