Benny,

That’s good news. I prefer OAUTH2 vs App-specific PW, but even may use 
it earlier, but certainly later if OAUTH is rejected as you indicate is 
Google’s direction. Apple setup remains fine.

The other services using OAUTH2 - Yahoo!, Windows Live/Outlook - 
(haven’t yet) announced anything to my knowledge. Apple Mail is not 
having trouble with them either, that I’ve heard or seen.

Respectfully,

Henry Seiden
