[MlMt] Google login issues?

[Gary Hull]

I moved all of my accounts from Google to Runbox and (if hosted there) 
Pair. For throwaway free accounts I made new ones at AOL and Yandex. 
Life is so much simpler now.

Gmail gets hammered by all kinds of hacking schemes, so Google uses a 
high-false-positive algorithm. Any kind of forwarding or mail agent 
log-in situation is going to involve repeated web browser log-in 
requests to verify you. None of you guys are ever going to solve this 
problem. And it's not worth your time.

AOL will break maybe twice a year. Yandex, never. Runbox: You're paying 
for it, you own it, it never breaks. Google is a nightmare. I still have 
to have one Gmail account to tie into Analytics and Webmaster Tools, but 
that's all.

Why deal with companies that treat you like a hacker and criminal and 
have no personal support? What is your time worth?
