I've recently set up a gmail account, and had some problems setting up balsa. First issue is that I'm using popfile to filter incoming mail, so I'm first trying to be sure whether this is a balsa issue or a popfile issue.

The problem is that gmail refused to allow a POP3 connection until I ticked their box to allow connections from an "older, less secure" application. One of their messages was "Someone just tried to sign in to your Google Account [email protected] from an app that doesn't meet modern security standards. (I've obviously changed the host, but it is an account which used to simply be a redirect, but is now a google apps account, or something that uses gmail.) As far as I can tell, the connection is using SSL, and it's not clear why that shouldn't be sufficient.

I can't really tell what they think is missing security wise - so I'm asking if anyone has run into this before, and for any suggestions, other than just checking that config box on the account.

Thanks.

Jack
