Was it something I did? :)

@nadir husain are you running version 1.6.0 yet, with "conversations"?

discovery is an incremental process :) and today after many weeks of going back and forth i finally screamed " eureka"!!
yes!  the conversations  part of your code is a work of art,  actually the entire program is a"  thing of beauty".  kudos

I looked at K9 and even used a few throw away addresses on it, but in the end the lack of security (plus the fact that Google deemed it to be a unsafe App) made the decision for me. Liking acquamail so far!

Re: Google deemed it to be a unsafe App

Oh, that wording is ridiculous.

If their intent is to make people run scared for the safety of an all-Google ecosystem -- as it seems to be -- they should have written something like:

"This app, if you let it access your mail account...

will come to your house at night,
find and drink your bottle of 12 year old Scotch you're keeping for Christmas,
and may even murder your cat*

* a cat will be provided if necessary
".

It just means "the app tried to authenticate by sending your email ID + password" (over an encrypted network connection -- Gmail doesn't work without SSL).

For security itself, adding CRAM-MD5 auth would've made more sense.

The exact words from Google when I tired to sign into my Gmail account using K9:

"Someone just tried to sign in to your Google Account from an app that doesn't meet modern security standards."

I also read that it stores your password as clear text on your device - all this however is irrelevant now as I'm looking to migrate to Acquamail which has stronger Security protocols.

Thank you for providing good laughter!
Poor cat!
