Google gmail cutting off alpine

[Linux for blind general discussion]

I really, really hope the Alpine developers can find a fix for this.


I am rather partial to living on a console for as much as I can, but 
with Gmail and Alpine breaking, it would be rather difficult, unless I 
would want to find an alternative solution, which I am not, simply 
because I have quite a few mailing lists subscribe to the gmail, and I'm 
lazy..


Warm regards,
