command line email clients and gmail.com

[Chris Nestrud]

You'd probably have decent luck with http://www.tuffmail.com. I used
them before switching to Fastmail. Their pages are simple enough that
they should work with text browsers. Available web-based mail clients
include Squirrelmail. Downsides include no two-factor auth and I believe no
per-app passwords. My information is a couple years out of date so YMMV.

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.
