Thanks.  Unfortunately, my university GMail account is part of GSuites, or
whatever they're calling it now, and even though I can create an app
password, it won't work for logging in to read mail.  This seems to be a
campus-wide setting that the university IT people have made.  They are
requiring OAUTH2, which uses the campus authentication system, so I won't
be able to get claws-mail to work with my university account even with
2-step verification and an app password.

As I mentioned, I can make thunderbird work, but the last time I used it,
I didn't like it very much.  So I was wondering what people think about it
now or what other suggestions people have.  

  George
