A better solution for this is to be able to specify a background color. This is an option I provide for a similar feature in Aeris Calendar, but I guess it's been so long that I've personally used that feature in PP, that it wasn't an issue on whatever OS I last used it in (probably XP?). I'll add t...

You cannot -- the color represented in the tray icon will match the color of the account. Maybe a compromise in the color would help? e.g. rgb 96/0/0 to have a dark shade of red.

I have to admit, not having looked at these settings for a while, I was confused myself; but, of course, it makes sense that the time is only available if the "mode" is set to one that hides it ("out"). But, you're right, "delay" is probably not an ideal term. I've chan...

Here's what you need to do: 1) From POP Peeper's main menu: Tools / Skin notifier -> Select Skin Settings 2) On the bottom-right, you'll see these settings: PP_SkinNotifierSettings_Delay.png 3) Specifically, you'll want to enable "override slider" and set the "mode" to either of ...

I've added an extra screenshot to the guide:

As long as the dropdown box that would normally include "Oauth2" is gone, then you know that POP Peeper is using the password.

The method that PP uses doesn't rely on Windows Dark Theme. You may want to double-check that it's set to the theme you thought:
PP main menu: Tools / Theme Viewer
Double-click "Dark theme" and see if that changes it

Otherwise, what OS are you using?

main menu: Tools / Options / Notification
When I receive new email = No special action

I did a search for "insert your security key into the usb port" and it seems this is a somewhat common problem. Unfortunately, I didn't find any actual solutions. The most common solution seemed to be to go to: Windows settings / Accounts / sign into apps with a physical security key / man...

Mayhem -- thanks for the tip. Can you let me know about how many accounts you had converted before this problem? I assume that you were needing to enable 2FA for these accounts (as opposed to just needing to create app-passwords)? While I understand that Google might be sensitive to lots of account ...

Ok, here's the revised text: edit the account in POP Peeper; if you see a disabled control that says "Password" to the right of your "Login name", this means that Oauth2 is still being used and you need to update your password (if there's an existing password, it could be your ma...

Here's the new text: - v5.6 or newer: edit the account in POP Peeper; if you see a disabled control that says "Password" to the right of your "Login name", this means that Oauth2 is still being used and you need to update your password (if there's an existing password, it could b...

Are you sure you were using v5.6? I just went though the process of creating a gmail account in v5.6 and at no time did it suggest that Oauth2 was available.

I think step #4 in the "create the app-password" section may be where you got confused? I've added an extra note to that step for v5.5 users (the upcoming v5.6 will enforce the "password" method). The text in red below has just been added to the FAQ for clarity: 4. Follow the ins...

Important announcement regarding Gmail accounts -- As of April 23, 2025, you will need to update your Gmail accounts to use an app password instead of Oauth2.

POP Peeper's AntiJunk does not delete by default; nor would it (by default) delete if the sender is on the white list. Please email me (support at esumsoft dot com) so that we can investigate this further. If you still have any messages that PP marked for deletion, they would be helpful, too. I can'...

No, this isn't an option. Basically, POP Peeper hands off the printing capability to the html renderer in this case. I can't remember the details, but I had tried to manipulate the html to insert the header info and it had problems. PPv6 will use a different html renderer, so -- no promises -- I'll ...

Did the messages have a red-X or a blue trashcan (I know you said the garbage can but I just want to verify)? The red-X represents "no longer on server" whereas the blue trashcan means "marked for delete." If you're used to v3, it used a blue-X for "marked for delete" (...

I did add this, but I think it's scheduled for PPv6. Not that I consider this a very viable alternative, but if you're really desperate for a keyboard access, you could use the context key on your keyboard (assuming it has one); then key-up/down (ugh, sorry, "move to" doesn't even have a m...

I had tested Gmail/Oauth2 on 2 instances before my first response, but your error is indicative of something happening; perhaps 3rd party.

However, the best solution is to use an app password:

What Windows OS are you using?
