retitle 459948 Login broken on some libgmail accounts
(will this work?)

Seb,

First of all, thanks for pinging us about this. I'm a big Debian fan :)

libgmail seems to be broken for an increasingly large set of accounts.
My current theory is that the login process has changed substantially,
and libgmail/urllib2 isn't pretending to be a browser well enough to
keep up with the change.

Our associated SF bug is:

That said, given that Google has now made IMAP access to libgmail
available, it seems that the right thing for users of libgmail to do
is to rewrite their applications to use the IMAP interface; it'll
(presumably) be more robust and break less often.

This is probably the most desirable for the gmailfs people to do, if
they're willing.
The other option, of course, is for someone to rewrite libgmail to use
the IMAP interface, though I suspect that that's somewhat unlikely.
