Dear Maintainer,

Google is forcing OAUTH2 for use with gmail. The current
stable version doesn't support that. You need 3.18 .
So i'm making a backport request. 3.18/3.19 should be enough.

Not been able to use gmail is quite a big flaw, this is why
i'm giving it a severity of important.

Dear Maintainer,

please package version 3.19.0 into backports, it contains the necessary support for OAuth2 authentication (required by GMail and MS Exchange).

Best regards,

I have prepared a backport of claws-mail, and have uploaded it - It's
in the backports NEW queue, so I don't know how long it will take
before getting through (It is out of my control).

If there is any problems with the package, I'll fix them and get it
through the NEW queue again, if necessary, so you will get a new(er)
claws-mail package soon enough which supports the gmail OAUTH2
business. (I am running a backported version of claws for some time -
for me it works just fine).

Now claws-mail 4.1.0-2~bpo11+1 and clawsker 1.3.5-1~bpo11+1 has been
accepted into bullseye-backports - closing this bug.
