Drat.

Google is a privacy bastard in almost every way possible with their change
as of June 30th to no longer allow basic privacy of an account & password.

In my tests just now switching from K9 mail (which doesn't support OAuth2)
to FairMail (which does support OAuth2), the sleazy process ended up
_CREATING_ that account for Google in the operating system!

I _never_ want my phone to be set to _any_ account. 
Not Samsung. Not Google. Not anyone.

It's a basic privacy thing, since the instant you create an account on an
Android phone, your privacy is toast.

I suspect it will be the same with the Thunderbird port of K9 mail even as
K9 mail _never_ needed to _create_ an account in the operating system.

If you have any account set up on your phone, you don't care about privacy.
