Is this related to some recent email I got from google, saying in part:

----------------------
On May 30, you may lose access to apps that are using less secure  
sign-in technology

*What do you need to do?*

*Email software, like Outlook 2016 or earlier,* has less secure access  
to
your Gmail. Switch to Office 365, Outlook 2019 or newer, or any other  
email
software where you can sign in using *Sign in with Google*.
----------------------

I've been wondering if this is going to cut off my gmail POP access  
with Balsa, but I'm really pretty clueless as to what is going on here.
