A friend was using Geary with a gmail account a while ago, stopped using
it and then started using it again recently. They entered their password
and the password dialog popped up again, they tried again and same thing
so they hit cancel and logged into the gmail web interface. The first
email (attached) was from Google saying that a sign-in attempt was
blocked. I got them to repeat the process with network debug turned on
(anonymised log attached) and it appears that Google may request users
to log in via the web interface at times but Geary doesn't pass that
information on to users. This problem happens with both 0.8.2 and 0.8.3.
