[sylpheed:37324] Re: Prevented from switching gmail account to POP3

[G.A. L.F.]

I admit I'm not familiar with Mailwasher Pro...

I don't plan on testing this until after the switch-over (e.g., Oct 1st,
whatever).  The reason is that I do not want to spend a lot of effort to
get it working with Sylpheed just to have the feature stop working after
they start enforcing OAuth2.  I think I'd rather just expend efforts once
and if that doesn't work out I'll migrate over to Fastmail.

Warm regards,
-G
