Interesting. I had no idea that the mail client used cookies at all.
I was able to log in using the web browser the first time it
happened. It was also the fact that normally when I get emails noting
a login from another device they are usually able to identify the OS,
which didn't happen in this case - it was just "unknown device".
Though most of the warning messages about logging in from other
devices would apply to a web login, not an IMAP connection from a
mail client.
OK, I didn't mean to claim that the mail client used cookies. I
routinely retrieve Gmail by POP3 without difficulty (sorry, no IMAP
experience). But if you go through the webmail it's a different story.
That's when you have to jump through all those hoops. Yet another reason
to hate webmails.
