I have Outlook Express as my e-mail client on win8 and I see the

So Google thinks that Windows Mail and Outlook Express are more
secure
than Outlook, WLM and Thunderbird.

The real questions would be g
- Are you using that 3rd party modified version of MSFT's OE
with a
Google Gmail account. And if so, is it using POP3 or IMAP or both
?
- What are you're Google settings for the security settings
discussed
in this thread (Less Secure apps etc.)

The real question is whether OE and WM are more or less "secure"
than other e-mail clients and this question has been explained
perfectly
by VanguardLH.

Since others in a private MSFT forum have reported OE failing
unless
the Google setting is configured for less secure clients, if you've
a
Gmail account using OE without issue that Gmail setting is also
configured as less secure.

Google defines security in his own way.
It is not necessary to adopt his definition.

Google's a person ?

"its definition" is ok?

I mean "its" in place of "his".

That works better :-)

"His" and "her" (or "hers") usually look like people in idiomatic
English.

You don't get a choice how an e-mail provider defines security. It's
their service, their resource, their property, not yours. Yes, you
definitely have to adopt Gmail's definition of security. The only
choice you get is to turn on/off the "Allow less secure apps" option.
Also, with Gmail, you have NO CHOICE to disable their anti-spam filter.
It is always on and you cannot disable it.

OK, we have to adopt that according to google WM and OE are less
secure than other e-mail clients and according to other e-mail providers
WM and OE are not less secure.

Yes, but you're doing fine, really.

I've made speakers of other languages laugh, myself - not on purpose :-)
