Google is announcing that in the future, G-Suite accounts will not
support LSA (Less Secure Access) account connection functionality.
This will put an end to accessing your Gmail account via POP3 or old
school IMAP, unless your email client supports OAuth.
So someone will have to implement OATH support in fetchmail or I will
lose access to customer email addresses on G-Suite.
(Sure, I could fetch the email using Mailmate but 1. I don't want
Google to follow my laptop around the world - that's creepy - and 2.
I have my mailserver fetch my mail so it's more easily backed up.)
Fetchmail is indeed a significant issue and
https://sourceforge.net/p/fetchmail/mailman/message/34628292/
suggests that the fetchmail devels aren't going to turn it into a web
browser.
They're not wrong...
One other option is for gmail to forward your mail to your server.
I've been doing this for a few months without any problems.
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll look into doing that.
I've got two years to put off poking around at the web interface. :-)
