Evening all, I'm after setting up an email client, I've tried thunderbird for my gmail account, but I get a google complaint about the client not being secure enough. Is there another recommended email client? Or can we make thunderbird more secure to pass the google checks?
Thanks in advance

Google is going to complain no matter what e-mail client you choose.
Not so. As I said above, I use it with Evolution. I occasionally have to renew my credentials but it works fine. I'm using it to post this.
As far as T-Bird and Google are concerned. I have the following setting in my Google Account.
"To protect your account, apps and devices that use less secure sign-in technology are blocked."
And, I use T-Bird with my Security Settings as SSL/TLS and OAuth2.
So, it seems Google is just fine and not blocking T-Bird usage. I'm sure that is much the same for Evolution.
