I’m out of the loop - where does Google commit to turning off IMAP? Is there any other standard that non-Google mail clients can follow?
Will Apple Mail lose Gmail compatibility or can they upgrade to something?
- minedwiz 6y agoIIRC Apple Mail uses IMAP via Oauth.
- thayne 6y agoSo it's specifically IMAP without OAuth?
- tedivm 6y agoYes- I used to maintain an open source imap library and looked into this when they first made the announcement. Microsoft is also planning on doing the same thing. https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/office/blogs/end-of-support-for-basic-authentication-access-to-exchange-online-apis-for-office-365-customers/ https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/office/blogs/end-of-su...
