Hi,
my problem though is that I need access to the inbox contents entirely,
not just to forward.
The Debian list is currently discussing things like mutt with gmail, and
imap as an alternative.
Apparently this bypasses the security problems with gmail in general?
And yes, I send from it too..agree that hosting your own mail has
positives.
Thanks,
Karen

Anyone use mutt that can lend documentation, or a hand?
I'm familiar with Mutt, but not with using it with Gmail. In particular, it
is my understanding that authentication is more complicated now than it used
to be, due to Google's security policies.
This article seems to be a reasonably up to date starting point:
https://www.thetechedvocate.org/how-to-install-and-configure-mutt-with-gmail-on-linux/
I have a GMail account, but it's configured to forward everything to one of
my "real" e-mail accounts, and I don't use it to send messages. My Mutt
configuration is et up to work with mail on my own server.
