Here's an article that mirrors a long, fruitless experiment I tried a year and a half ago:
http://systemfolder.wordpress.com/2010/ ... nts-gmail/
It looks at how well email clients for classic macos handle gmail. There are some notes in there about why this is tricky:
"For starters, the mere fact that Gmail requires SSL authentication for both POP and STMP connections leaves some of these clients out, because they simply do not support it. Claris Emailer and Eudora Light, for example."
I didn't have any luck with my quest to find a System 7 and 68k compatible client that can handle gmail accounts. But I guess I could check out the programs listed there to see if any are 68k compatible. Can anyone here recognize one off-hand, or make a suggestion?

I would look through it myself, but as our kiting-with-camping weekend literaly fell in the water, I'm expected for a bacon and eggs breakfast... as compensation.

I cross-posted on 68kmla, and the fellow who wrote Classilla replied:

"I can't think of any 68K/System 7 clients that handle TLS in this situation, unfortunately. I would love to be proven wrong."
