So this sounds interesting, first I've heard of K9.
Installed K9 from f-droid. Stick gmail credentials in. Fails to log on or function. I assume because gmail is actively blocking them.
No email notifications of the login attempt from gmail nor android popups. Just silent block.
I'm sure there is a reason that makes it all my fault or nothing else that google could possibly do other than that. So let's hear them.
- matt_heimer 4y agoGoogle stopped allowing 3rd party apps to log into your mail account using usernames and passwords on May 30, 2022. https://github.com/thundernest/k-9/issues/6020 https://github.com/thundernest/k-9/issues/6020 https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255 https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255
- harry8 4y agoThunderbird logged in on my laptop right now. Blocking 3rd party apps seems relevant to this discussion. Blocking without notifiying as to WHY to make it look like another kind of failure is pretty anti-competitive at best. Bait, "yes we let you use your client with imap" becomes switch "we have enough market share to throw our weight around to hurt the competition" /Me waves to the google employees who found the original post somehow not meeting the guildelines here. Anyway K9 does not work with gmail, apparently since 2 weeks ago. I wonder if joining mozilla 2 weeks after that will change things.
