Thunderbird 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.
