Hi,
so for the following to work.
mutt -f imap://lewellen.kd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Something would have to be turned on in my gmail settings?
I got interrupted system call when I tried.
as shared, testing with another gmail account before tampering with my
main one.

my reading is that google/gmail will start requiring a more complicated
method of connecting to gmail server emailboxes in about 9 months.
in the meantime, plain imap access will still work.
mutt can access an emailbox via imap simply enough, like:
mutt -f imap://username@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
my reading also suggests that the ability for an imap client to connect
to gmail requires a setting in one's gmail account.

Hi folks,
I still have direct access to basic html, at least until this morning.
Google is forcing the issue, a change to standard view, requiring a
captcha to ahem confirm it is me.
I understand some folks use mutt, which is likely installed on shellworld.
Before I tamper with my main gmail account though, I am considering a
test, I have a second gmail account I have not reached independently for
some time.
its set to forward..not solid as I have no access to my actual inbox.
I am told though that mutt may do the trick, but as I only use Linux via
shellworld, want a safe test, needing information.
Anyone use mutt that can lend documentation, or a hand?
Thanks,
Kare
