Enjoy!!!

Hi thank you for your article on how to stop gmail validation. Unfortunatly i am having the same issue and tried following your steps but its still asking me to validate. Hopefully you can help me as i have some questions.

1. After enabling Advanced Imap Controls do i have to change any settings in "Forwarding And POP/Imap tab ?(step 3)

2. Per your instructions it looks like all your doing is enabling advanced imap, then disabling the advanced imap to make it work.

Please help me figure out the missing step so i can stop this annoying issue.

THANKS !

You are my savior...

Thanx is not enough. But thanx anyway.

Cheers. Worked for me. :)

Now broken :( (looks like google may have flicked a switch)
