[PLUG] Goog, Tbird, Oauth2

[jeffv via plug <plug@lists.phillylinux.org>]

I (We?) got an email from our friends at G**gle, telling us
"you may lose access to apps that are using less secure sign-in technology"


Tbird needs server methods (send+rcv) to be set to Oauth2.
[You *may* have to delete the saved gmail pw, if you have one. Don't 
delete any other saved passwords]

Naturally this failed miserably. It would bring up Tbird's browser and 
go blank every time I put in my email address.

I had to go into Privacy and allow it to accept cookies. %*$&
After login, G**gle asked me if I would allow TB to access mail, yes, done.


FYI
Protonmail will allow pop/imap but you need to be on the paid plan. They 
don't mine your emails for info. Also free VPN that works with the 
important OS.


P.S. Xubuntu upgrade smooth. It's obviously working.
