Interesting. What I experienced is: 1) I attempted to connect with mutt, and got prompted for my password. 2) I entered my usual password. 3) I saw a long message flash on the screen very quickly. I could not read past the first word ... "Warning". Then mutt displayed "Login failed" 4) I got an email from GMail telling me that someone had attempted to login, and that I would have to disable the 2-factor authentification to use this client Thanks, -pd -- ---- Peter Davis The Tech Curmudgeon www.techcurmudgeon.com
