Yes, for example GMail with Thunderbird or iCloud with the native mail app, probably some people just don’t know that they can connect their Outlook mail to another mail client.
- passivate 5y agoI think Google requires that you perform a web login every now and then to keep the account active. IIRC They don't count POP/IMAP auths as logins.
- gbear605 5y agoUnfortunately Google is increasingly making it harder to use gmail with a native mail client. They don’t use normal means of authentication so your client has to have built-in Google support. They’re introducing new types of emails that can only be opened from a web browser or Google’s proprietary email client. I won’t be surprised if I wake up one morning to see that gmail simply doesn’t work with normal mail clients anymore.
- Tijdreiziger 5y agoI think Microsoft does it with MS365 too. Admins can turn on SMTP/IMAP if they want, but MS makes sure to warn you that it’s less secure.
