Login to Gmail account no longer works. Error message is: "Non riuscito l'invio della password per l'utente xxxxxxxx@gmail.com. Il server di posta pop.gmail.com ha risposto: Web login required: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/78754.

Received a mail from Gmail saying they blocked the access to my account. They suggest to allow less safe apps... but I do not want to! Will I be able to keep using Thunderbird?? Or will I have to switch to something else? Hope this problem is fixed soon!

Upgrade to Version 38. It supports this bogus "less secure" junk made up by Google.
