Applications / PMMail (Thunderbird) can't access POP outlook.office365.com (soon gmail.com)

« on: March 07, 2022, 10:41:03 pm »

Bonjour to all,

This message to inform you that PMMail, among other mail clients, can't access "outlook.office365.com" via POP/SMTP protocols (via Stunnel) anymore, due to the activation of two-factor authentication.
This will soon be the case for the access to GMail.com starting May 30th.

This marks  the end of using of PMMail for me. And this will force me to use the web mail of the providers and not on OS/2  :'(

I still have to find an alternative to ETeller and I'll probably phase out my old OS/2 (eCS) machine.

Have a nice day you all!

Hardware / Search for a PC for the next 10 years

Bonjour to all!

I jump into the bandwagon for a slightly off-topic message WRT hardware. I am too lazy to open a new topic just for this. my apologize to Guzzi!
I am in the search for a PC for the next 10 years  and I might opt for an MSI X570-A Pro Motherboard with an AMD Ryzen 7 3700X CPU.

This spec can of course fit any Linux distro out there hands down and even... Windows 10, if I really (REALLY) wanted to.  I could run any OS in a VM but I wonder if ArcaOS could run on this hardware?  I also planned to add a cheap (and fanless) Sapphire Radeon HD 6450 - 2 Go to it just to be sure to have the choice for a display connection.

What do you think? Has anyone tested this?
