I'm mostly using K-9 Mail for Android.

as I do not have Android set to a Google account.

For those who haven't done it, you don't need a Google account on Android
but if you ever use "certain" apps, they _force_ an account to be created!

The GMail app is one of those apps (as is Google Voice).
So I use K-9 Mail.

I remember some time ago they forced this OAuth2 stuff on us, so I changed
"something" but I don't remember what as it was a long time ago.

Even so, Google sent me the nastigram. 
I'm confused why.
