Three things:
1. Like others have already said, you need to enable access by unsafe apps
in Gmail account settings. See [1].
2. In KMail POP3 settings you might need to prefix you POP3 username with
"recent:" (without quotes but with colon), so for example in KMail settings
my username is entered as "recent:jwstolarek@gmail.com" (again, without
quotes). This enables checking email by multiple mail clients (in case you
have several machines). See [2]. Moreover, for me without the "recent:"
prefix, instead of having access to newest emails as they come in, I would
only see email in a batch every few hours.
Whoa! That is one cool trick! It might be general knowledge for some, but it's
news to me, and I never found anything like that among suggestions in Gmail's
pages, nor on other sites who offer advice on how to for Gmail. (Doesn't work
on Zoho mail, however; just thought I'd give it a try.) At least I managed to
clear all the old emails off the server.
3. Contrary to what other said, I rarely have problems
caused by logining
in from different locations. I regularly use VPN so sometimes I'll be
checking my email from Switzerland and 5 minutes later I'm checking it from
Canada. I have no problems in overwhelming majority of cases.
Yeah, I was beginning to feel like some kind of shiftless pariah, banned from
Google periodically, because I have moved from my home to the library, 15
minutes' walk from here.
