I moved all of my accounts from Google to Runbox and (if hosted there) Pair. For throwaway free accounts I made new ones at AOL and Yandex. Life is so much simpler now.

Gmail gets hammered by all kinds of hacking schemes, so Google uses a high-false-positive algorithm. Any kind of forwarding or mail agent log-in situation is going to involve repeated web browser log-in requests to verify you. None of you guys are ever going to solve this problem. And it's not worth your time.

AOL will break maybe twice a year. Yandex, never. Runbox: You're paying for it, you own it, it never breaks. Google is a nightmare. I still have to have one Gmail account to tie into Analytics and Webmaster Tools, but that's all.

Why deal with companies that treat you like a hacker and criminal and have no personal support? What is your time worth?

I've had MailMate ask for my password in four of my Google Apps accounts (three of them two-factor) a total of at least 8 times today. Has anyone else had any issues?

I've been watching this thread since it started and feeling fortunate that I have not had any issues with 10 gmail accounts I have.

So I'm sitting in front of my Mac when all of a sudden at 0127 i received emails and text messages from google on 5 of the accounts. The messages read as follows;

_Hi Richard,_

_Someone just used your password to try to sign in to your Google Account xxxxxxx...@gmail.com, using an application such as an email client or mobile device._

_Details:_
_Friday, September 2, 2016 2:21 AM (Eastern Daylight Time)_
_New York, NY, USA*_
_Google stopped this sign-in attempt, but you should review your recently used devices:_

I'm not sure if this is the same message everyone else has been getting but now I'll deal with it.
