I just ran into an issue with Python’s imaplib and Gmail’s authentication mechanism:

>>> import imaplib >>> imap = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL('imap.gmail.com', 993) >>> imap.authenticate('bobdole@gmail.com', 'Bob Dole likes your style!') Traceback (most recent call last):   ... imaplib.error: AUTHENTICATE command error: BAD ['TODO (not supported yet) 31if3458825wff.5'] 

If authentication is unsupported, how does one log in?

    Instead of

    >>> imap.authenticate('bobdole@gmail.com', 'Bob Dole likes your style!') 

    use

    >>> imap.login('bobdole@gmail.com', 'Bob Dole likes your style!')
