Three things:
- Like others have already said, you need to enable access by unsafe apps
in Gmail account settings. See [1].
- 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.
- 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.
