Security message from Google
My wife does not have a computer at the moment and I have added her
E-Mail address to my Outlook folder. Why has this message came up for her ? "Someone just used your password to try to sign in to your account from a non-Google app. Google blocked them, but you should check what happened. Review your account activity to make sure no one else has access." Bill.

This is a standard response that I get from GMail whenever the account is accessed from a device presumably not included in its links. It even does it when I access my GMail account from my laptop! Google notion of "security" is one of the worst jokes running these days. -- best regards, Neil
