Or even just make Gmail’s IMAP support properly spec compliant instead of requiring third party clients to hack around its nonstandard behaviors.
- AnonHP 4y agoCould you expand on the non-standard behaviors? Long ago I noticed that using tags in Gmail causes a mess because they seem to appear as folders on an IMAP client. I’d like to know what other issues exist with respect to its IMAP implementation.
- jeroenhd 4y agoAFAIK, Gmail's IMAP uses OAUTH2 authentication through SASL (RFC7628). Legacy email clients don't implement that RFC, but it's far from a hack.
