Thanks for the "instant" reply. :wink: PROBLEM SOLVED: It was my firewall, which, apparently, magically and intermittently started blocking some features of POP Peeper and/or OAuth. However, FYI: > Try to copy the code provided by Gmail to post into POP Peeper (which is something new); Tha...

Greetings Jeff, For several weeks now, POP Peeper Pro 4.5.3.0 repeatedly "loses" authorization to access several webmail and private IMAP accounts. he private IMAP accounts re-authorize normally. However, my webmail accounts, especially GMail, refuse to re-authorize. I go through the norma...

Yes, I know, thanks. Since it is somewhere on your "radar", perhaps you will get your NSA/CIA/FBI/ASPCA contacts to help move it from the fringes to dead-center. :? I will try re-installing my existing certificates but, this time, system-wide rather than specifically for Outlook and see if...

Greetings, Jeff, Can POP Peeper use Comodo's "Secure Email Certificate (S/MIME)", as described here: https://www.comodo.com/home/email-security/free-email-certificate.php. If so, are there any special considerations you can advise. If not, can you recommend an alternative or a "work-a...

I really appreciate the time and thought you've expended with me. Thank you. However... :oops: Two more questions: What about POP Peeper causes it to be a "Less Secure Application", per Google, anyway? And, what, if anything can/will you do to make it "More Secure"? EDIT: My apol...

I was shocked and disappointed when I tested and found that you're right when you say, That's not quite accurate. GMail doesn't know *what* app is logging in with the app-specific password that you've assigned for POP Peeper. That is, you could use the same password for POP Peeper AND Thunderbird AN...

Remeber, lakrsrool : my observations and suggestions to Jeff and the OP were in response to her having recurring problems with POP Peeper intermitently not being able to access her Gmail account(s). Luckily, I encountered the same issue/problem with one of my Gmail accounts but not with others that ...

No, jeff, it is not something that I am repeating from reading anything from Google. It is my own, humble, non-OAuth-expert, non-program-developer, layman's, commonsense deduction. That is to say: It seems to me that, if Google offers the option to secure our email accounts with a 2-Step Authenticat...

While we agree that most (all?) apps like POP Peeper resort to some variation of the more easily implemented Less-Secure-Apps approach/workaround to the issue/problem being discussed, I still maintain that, given the option to take advantage of the more secure 2-Step Authentication + App Specific Pa...

Jeff, I was not faulting your Less-Secure-Apps recommendation per se, nor faulting POP Peeper at all. And, based on my limited experience with apps similar to POP Peeper, you are right: The two similar apps that I looked at run into the same issue with Gmail, and their developers, like you, recommen...

Pardon my butting in but, five minutes ago, I finally figured out the cause of, and the solution to, my identical problem. When Not-being-evil Google detects any unusual or unfamiliar activity in accessing your account, it wisely :roll: blocks access until you permit that access, much like a good so...
