What does the 100 concurrent client known problem mean?

@Pathduck Thunderbird too had troubles with gmail. I think most mailers hate google auth.

[Pathduck]

@Hadden89 Yeah, I suspect if users turn off OAuth2 (2FA) on their Google account it might work setting up as a regular IMAP account. But most users are not going to do that for obvious reasons...

@saudiqbal Googles "Security" tools are really weird.

Yes. They send me warnings every time I use one of my Linux Laptops. Probably because I change Distros a couple of times a year.

@Pathduck i did in past for a spam (not google) account but you'll end to be notified anytime you use the mailer. Annoying, insecure, not always works. 2FA is almost enforced.

[Hadden89]

@greybeard So much alerts you almost end up to ignore them (like win UAC)

Well, since I have to use this on M2 already, what else can I do:-). This is actually good news to me.

So according to one of the posters there, Google themselves don't read those forums, but I sent feedback through the GMail web app itself, as suggested. Perhaps that will be equally useless, but I'm desperate here!

Reason #9050 to hate Google.

hello, sorry for my English
Seeing, or so it seems, that the problem that you have to wait for google to authorize access via OAuth2, why isn't another type of validation implemented in vivaldi mail, as other email managers have (for example normal password)? and thus we avoid waiting for google to decide.

@pantantrollo , we are working on that as an option as well. It does require the user to go into the Google settings and change some things, but for advanced users, clearly that is an option.

[pantantrollo]

@jon Perfect, thx

@LonM Sigh. I used to love Google. But now, Google's gone to the dogs.

Especially for those of us still on M2, we would not need to change a thing :-D.

Is there actually any difference function-wise, apart from ease of set-up?

[jon]

@felagund , you are right, there is no difference except for the OAuth thingy. Not really sure that is easier to use even, but Google makes it easier by making the use of normal login harder as you have to change settings.
