When I decided to close my AOL and Yahoo accounts. I want to extract attachments from them as they are important for me. I have gone through several tools but unable to get satisfaction. Luckily,one day I come across Softaken IMAP Attachment Extractor and I found it is supported with all IMAP Servers that means no need to invest in two different utilities. I immediately applied for its license.
Enable 2-Step Verification,create a Google App Password,then sign in with your Gmail address and that App Password. Softaken connects over IMAP to extract attachments.
Google has retired Less Secure Apps / basic password access for many third-party desktop tools. With 2SV on,an App Password is the supported secure login method for Softaken.
