Re: Read Gmail from iSeries

[Bradley Stone <bvstone@xxxxxxxxx>]

Ah... you're already using our stuff.  Since you're a GMail shop (like us)
hopefully you have MAILTOOL Plus as well for sending mail through GMail
"properly".

I've seen a lot of hacks for doing this, but we offer it direct and even
using OAuth 2.0.  Soon there will be a GMail specific API for delivering
mail, like we have for Office365.

Seems MS is going the route of web APIs for everything, even mail, and
slowly moving away from SMTP servers.  Could be the new trend.  We shall
see!
