I guess you're referring to Google forcing OAuth instead of username/password authentication? Care to post a link to that announcement? Pretty sure there is a way to make KMail4 work as well with OAuth. Probably something like https://github.com/oauth2-proxy/oauth2-proxy should work. But then again, what's wrong with KMail5? đŸ˜€ (it can even insert emojis, see? đŸ˜‰) Patrick.
