Today I got this message from Portage:

!!! The following installed packages are masked:
- kde-misc/ultimate-gmail-feed-2.1::gentoo (masked by: package.mask)
/usr/portage/profiles/package.mask:
# Andreas Sturmlechner <asturm@gentoo.org> (2022-09-23)
# Broken after Google stopped accepting "Less Secure Apps".
# https://github.com/Intika-KDE-Plasmoids/plasmoid-ultimate-gmail-feed/issues/32
# Use kde-misc/gmail-feed instead; removal on 2022-10-23.

But this error can be fixed by following these steps:

There is no point in masking the program to remove later...

Does gmail-feed not work for you?

> Does gmail-feed not work for you?

Hi, Sam James!

I haven't tested gmail-feed because I've been using kde-misc/ultimate-gmail-feed for years without any problems and I wouldn't want to change...

It's really interesting because it appears that ultimate is actually a now-dead form of gmail-feed: https://github.com/anthon38/gmailfeed/issues/10#issuecomment-406429535.

fork*
Comment 5 Andreas Sturmlechner gentoo-dev 2022-09-24 09:36:28 UTC
gmail-feed is the original upstream, yes.
Comment 6 Eduardo Coutinho Scalabrin 2022-09-24 09:40:31 UTC
Thanks for the info, so I'll switch to gmail-feed since the ultimate-gmail-feed project has been discontinued...
