• Iris and Gmail

    From Robert Werry@21:1/5 to All on Tue Feb 8 08:00:10 2022
    Since updating to the latest version of Iris (Jan 22), I can no long
    open the Standard HTML Gmail window, which worked fine before. No
    great problem as the Basic HTML version still works. Just curious as
    to whether anyone else has noticed this.

    I do not use gmail but I did notice that on the Titanium on upgrading to the latest Iris (22 Jan) that some sites were no longer reachable, a conveinient example being TechRadar from the home page. Sometime later I noticed that on the RPi400 with the same version os Iris that the TechRadar site was
    reachable.

    The issue is the ZeroPain module which was only in use on the Titanium. Removing it allows the TechRadar site to load.

    Conversely loading ZeroPain on the RPi400 does stop TechRadar.

    This may or may not help with gmail.

    Thanks for your reply, David.

    Rpi 4, here, with RISC OS 5.28. I do not appear to have the ZeroPain
    module, and TechRadar loads fine, so not the issue in my case, but
    very much appreciate your thoughts.

    I can get into the basic Gmail webmail, but access to the 'standard'
    version is not currently working. Google issues a warning you are using an
    out of date version of Chrome and wants you to update it! I have not yet
    tried using a different User Agent to try and get round this.

    Google recently announced a major "update" to how Gmail worked as of about
    10 days ago. Its partly to do with the big changes they are rolling out to those with G-Suite

    This makes sense. It would be about ten days ago that I installed the

    standard hanging on startup screen.

    I've now had a play with different User Agents in Iris, but to no
    avail.

    Thanks for the insight, Chris.

    To be honest I do not use the webmail interface normally anyway. I

    nicely.

    Just been setting up a new e-address for the Mem Sahib. couldn't get it
    to work then Google told me we were using an insecure mail app.

    It's Office Outlook 2010 so not much longevity in Microsoft products.

    Anyway, Google reminded us that in your account settings you can opt to
    "Use less secure apps" or something similar. Did that, ignoring the dire warnings and all is now well.

    Webmail based Gmail uses OAuth and soon Oauth2 for secure logins which
    have been around for several years but we currently don't support them on
    RISC OS yet. We just need NetFetch/Hermes to support it. I very much doubt Popstar would ever support it.

    I have 6 gmail accounts which work perfectly with PoP using Netfetch/Hermes/Pluto. If I set Netfetch to leave mail on the server and
    ignore previously downloaded items, Ican still access the stuff on
    Thunderbird on the dark side. No problem.

    To be clear we do not yet AFAIK support OAuth or OAuth2 secure logon
    protocols as used by the webmail interface.

    Yes we can get Gmail mail via POP3 or IMAP via NetFetch/Hermes currently,
    but this method is via what Google say are insecure apps (includes
    Thurderbird)

    As anticipated, GMail have now sent out a message warning users that in
    the near future 'insecure' software like old versions of Outlook will no
    longer be allowed to access its services at all - I assume this applies
    to MessengerPro and Pluto and their respective mail fetchers too, not to mention things like AntiSpam....

    To be clear we do not yet AFAIK support OAuth or OAuth2 secure logon
    protocols as used by the webmail interface.

    Yes we can get Gmail mail via POP3 or IMAP via NetFetch/Hermes
    currently, but this method is via what Google say are insecure apps
    (includes Thurderbird)

    See my previous post. You can set you account to ignore that.

    I know all that ! I was explaining how the webmail service worked and
    how we might have to change in the future.

    As anticipated, GMail have now sent out a message warning users that in
    the near future 'insecure' software like old versions of Outlook will no longer be allowed to access its services at all - I assume this applies
    to MessengerPro and Pluto and their respective mail fetchers too, not to mention things like AntiSpam....

    I acces Gmail with Thunderbird. I wonder how that will cope?

    Since it appears to support OAuth 2, probably quite well...

    That said, doesn't turning on 2-Step Authentication in your Google account
    and then creating an "App Password" work? From a very quick investigation,
    they appear to walk and quack like the "authentication tokens" that everyone else is using to replace passwords for things that don't do OAuth.

    The idea is that a) they're more secure than "Password1", and b) since you
    can create as many as you need (one per application, per computer or other device), it's trivial to revoke them if they get leaked.

    My mail to gmail.com addresses has been blocked lately. But I found a
    simple solution: Simply replace gmail.com in such addresses by
    googlemail.com, and the mail is received normally.

    I always thought that those two domain names were equivalent, but mail
    to them evidently behaves differently.
