Claws with Gmail

Hi everybody!

I would like to use the claws email client with my google account.
It was a little bit tricky at the beginning, but i foud the solution on youtube:  change the acces for less securised applications in google security parameters.
Has anyone un idea how use claws with google without this security fault?

Thanks,
Zoli

There's no guarantee that that patch works - usually you'll have to register the client w/ the service (see the 2nd link on comments about OAUTH/2)
