command line email clients and gmail.com

[Chuck Hallenbeck]

Hi Chris

I also was a huge fan of fastmail, abandoning them when they retired
their "classic" interface, which made their remaining "standard" site
inaccessible to the command line tools I had available here.

When some folks say "classic" I guess they mean "old-fashioned." I'd
return to them in a minute if I could

Chuck

Last week I tried logging into my google account.  My password was complex and 20 characters in length the last time I logged into that account successfully.  Last week the password had been changed and whoever did that had it shortened to 14 characters.  I ended up deleting my account.  If I ever create another google account I will not use any of google's enhanced security features since all of them only provide the authorized users a huge amount of hassle and are trivial for hackers to crack.
