#161380 — Problems with Gmail IMAP on Icedove

I have been trying to set up IMAP from two different accounts on Gmail in 
Icedove: 31.8.0-1~deb7u1.  I have tired changing the password in case I had 
got it wrong, I have retyped everything several times, I have copied and 
pasted, I have crawled up the wall, then I suddenly started to get messages 
from Gmail:
----------------------------------------------------

Sign-in attempt prevented



Hi xxxxx,
Someone just tried to sign in to your Google Account xxxxx@gmail.com
from an app that doesn't meet modern security standards.

Details:
Monday, 30 November 2015 22:35 (GMT)We strongly recommend that you use a
secure app, like Gmail, to access your account. All apps made by Google
meet these security standards. Using a less secure app, on the other hand,
could leave your account vulnerable. Learn more
<https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255>.

Google stopped this sign-in attempt, but you should review your recently
used devices:
---------------------------------------------------------

I have spent an hour at least trying to enter the ***** details - and they 
were fine.  Google had just decided to block me.

The purpose of the exercise wasn't to access the mail, which is only 
gibberish.  The purpose is to test setting up an IMAP account in Icedove from 
Gmail.

What do I do now?  Install Thunderbird?  Will it even work in Thunderbird?  
Give up and tear my hair out?  Icedove isn't even mentioned on the Devices 
and Activities page or I could tell it to accept it.  And Google would claim 
that it is being helpful!

I can use Icedove on Wheezy to fetch email from Gmail via POP3.  Grrrr.

I am using Thunderbird (downloaded from Mozilla) to access my Gmail 
account using IMAP.  I don't remember what I had to do to set it up.  I 
just remember googling and following posted instructions.

Icedove 31.8.0-1~deb8u1 (Jessie) works fine. Google seem to have a
very subtle understanding of Debian version numbers.

Annoying as this was, Google may have had a point:

Just received from security alerts:
<quote>
Multiple security issues have been found in Icedove, Debian's version of
the Mozilla Thunderbird mail client: Multiple memory safety errors,
integer overflows, buffer overflows and other implementation errors may
lead to the execution of arbitrary code or denial of service.

For the oldstable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed
in version 38.4.0-1~deb7u1.
