This is a good example of the effort it takes to figure out exactly what is required. I had the same understanding when Google first introduced requirements for OAuth2 access (years ago), but this was incorrect. There's no required payment for a desktop email app. The same goes for CASA Tier 2 although this is a bit muddled by the requirement to scan the code and not all code scanners being free to use. It might depend on the interpretation of the requirements of individual assessors. We'll see how it goes next year. To be completely clear, I have not paid anything to Google or anyone else to pass the OAuth2 verification. -- Benny _______________________________________________ mailmate mailing list Unsubscribe: https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate
