I've had good luck with Fastmail, www.fastmail.com. Two-factor is available but not nandatory. Option of per-app passwords so if someone gets the password you use for mutt, they can't access the other features of your account. I'm using it successfully for sending and receiving mail using mutt under Linux, Outlook under iOS, and the standard mail program on iPhone.

Here's the rest of that story too. I went as far as enabling two-step authentication in February of 2018. 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. > > On Sun, 10 Jun 2018, Chuck Hallenbeck wrote: > > > Date: Sun, 10 Jun 2018 20:14:48 > > From: Chuck Hallenbeck <chuckhallenbeck@xxxxxxxxx> > > To: "speakup@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" <speakup@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > > Subject: command line email clients and gmail.com > > > > Hi folks, > > > > On my archlinux system with its command line environment, I have > > three email clients able to send mail directly to my gmail smtp server > > at port 587. > > > > 1. mutt with msmtp. > > > > 2. alpine > > > > 3. edbrowse. > > > > All three methods work only when my google account security settings > > have enabled something called "Allow access by less secure apps. > > > > Recently I have been asked by google to disable that feature for > > security reasons, but doing so prevents my outgoing mail from being > > accepted by smtp.gmail.com. > > > > Anybody else able to use gmail.com with that security feature > > disabled, as google advises?
