iirc, you get an acknowledgement/confirmation/authentication originally and no more. I set it up last year and my mail system for two goggle accounts and have not been requested additional auth since for either. > If confirming authentication on the phone on each e-mail read is > required, then I fear it's quicly going to become a burden.

I use fetchmail and procmail: poll imap.gmail.com with interval 0 proto imap port 993 timeout 150 \ auth any, and tracepolls user 'abcdef.ghij', with password "abcdefghijklmno", is Ixme here, \ and ssl, and fetchall sslcertck mda '/usr/lib/sendmail -i -oem -f %F %T' user 'ghijklm.nopqr', with password "abcdeXXXXXlmnoo", is Ixme here, \ and ssl, and fetchall sslcertck mda '/usr/lib/sendmail -i -oem -f %F %T' it just works. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet oftc
