Email and Oath2 and similar

Post by ppomeroy »

Does the mail client interact with Gmail's OATH2 security set up?

Does the mail client also work with similar mail accounts at Yahoo, Outlook, etc?

Thank You.

Hi,

The email client supports POP3 and IMAP protocols but OAuth2 is not implemented.

Some email service providers require that the user enable POP3 in the settings before you can use that protocol.

Thanks for the response.

Some systems allow for a third-party application through the creation of an app specific password. Gmail used to allow that but went to OATH2 and eliminated allowance for the special application-specific password.

Yahoo and Outlook still allow for that if memory serves me well.

I was hoping to use this browser at an office I often work at and the built in mail client was very attractive to the package.

I hope that OATH2 can be implemented as that may increase interest in the product. I know the Vivaldi browser (Chrome) has a built-in mail client. It is simplistic and not full-featured but works for some needs.

Thank you.
