Yay Balsa list :-)However, I do have a separate question on pop for gmail. (I thought I had previously asked this, but can't find the message now.) When I first set up my gmail account for balsa, gmail complained about some security issue (obviously without providing any useful details) and I had to check the "ok to use less secure email client" in the gmail configuration before it would let balsa (with popfile) get access. I'd love to know exactly what gmail thinks is deficient in the security used by balsa/popfile, since I can't think of what else they could do.I had to check that "less secure" thing a long time ago too. I haven't seen or had any reason to believe there's been any problem on account of it. I don't remember the details now, but at the time I convinced myself that there was at least somewhat of a "marketing" component in that "secure email client" business. But I'm cynical that way, so I may just be spouting rubbish.
I don't use POP3 with my gmail account, but I also recall having to check that "less secure" option a while ago, perhaps when setting up an IMAP connection. Peter
Thanks for any other suggestions.
