Unfortunately, my university GMail account is part of GSuites, or whatever they're calling it now, and even though I can create an app password, it won't work for logging in to read mail. This seems to be a campus-wide setting that the university IT people have made. They are requiring OAUTH2, which uses the campus authentication system, so I won't be able to get claws-mail to work with my university account even with 2-step verification and an app password. As I mentioned, I can make thunderbird work, but the last time I used it, I didn't like it very much. So I was wondering what people think about it now or what other suggestions people have.
