Clients will have to use "Sign in with Google". What happens to all download-email programs? I'm looking for one, in fact. If I want to pull my mail via POP or IMAP today, what would I have to use? I'd like to read my mail with Gnus (using djb's Maildir storage). I can't stand Gmail any longer. I'm done. (*) Other questions This ``Sign In with Google'' means the downloader would always have to ask me for passwords? I could never just pull gmail without being asked for credentials? (Very annoying.)
