[plug] email clients for gmail accounts

[mailbox123 at fastmail.com.au]

I use Evolution with Fastmail. No issues with Fastmail and it is very Linux friendly. In fact, they were a sponsor at Linuxconfau one year.

Don't know if Evolution still works with gmail.
Cheers Ivan

Now with google's rejection of "less secure apps" my email via thunderbird has stopped working. I'm not prepared to have my google account for gmail associated with my mobile number for 2-factor authentication, and I never accept "login with google" - I'm telling you that to explain that I try and limit how much user profiling I allow alphabet to have on me, so that's why I'm looking for a workaround that I can't find online.
