[MlMt] MailMate, Gmail, & OAUTH2 verification

[Henry Seiden]

Hi Antonio,

That was likely and either/or scenario, fully played out by Google. 
I’ve been using OAUTH2 for several accounts on Google. Others - 
iCloud(Apple), Outlook(MS), Yahoo have new methods of verifying accounts 
with SSL. Both adapt fairly well to email clients like MailMate for me.

Yahoo! has one quirk  I wish Benny would fix in MM. Don’t know if 
it’s related, but what happens is that Yahoo cannot verify the account 
if the laptop is moved to a new locale or IP address (not always a 
different  router). It fails authorization/recognition by the server. 
Then requires me to take that account off line and re-register it (log 
it back in). Yahoo becomes happy again, until the next time.

Benny, care to comment about this one and how you want me to report it 
as a bug? I’ve been seeing in all 1.14 releases tried on this server 
only, including Test Builds for a while now. Currently on 1.14 r5895, 
MacOS 12.1.3 (Monterey).

Respectfully,

Henry Seiden
