Will Mailwasher Pro still be able to access GMail?

Sat Mar 05, 2022 3:35 am

Have received an Email from Google advising that they will be stopping "Less secure Apps" from accessing GMail.
On 30 May, you may lose access to apps that are using less secure sign-in technology

To help keep your account secure, Google will no longer support the use of third-party apps or devices which ask you to sign in to your Google Account using only your username and password. Instead, you’ll need to sign in using Sign in with Google or other more secure technologies, like OAuth 2.0.......
Does Mailwasher Pro "Sign in with Google" ?
If not will there be a security update so that we can continue to use it with GMail?

I believe they said it was too expensive and will not be an option.

You can still access the GMail account(s) using an App Password. Think of it as a disposable password to use in MailWasher, and your regular GMail password stays the same.
