Author/Date Issue with IMAP and Gmail on i.Scribe v1.90 test5

For some reason, I cannot configure IMAP(full) to use a port that isn't the default port.

I am trying to connect to imap.googlemail.com:993 using direct SSL, and it keeps reverting to port 143. This does not happen on IMAP(fetch).

I opened up ScribeOptions.xml and the port was listed as it should be. Is this a limitation of the free version or a bug?

Neither version can connect to gmail IMAP at the moment. They use an authentication method that I don't support. Not for lack of trying though, I've spent many hours already trying to get the right information to add support for OAUTH that gmail uses. My best lead at the moment is using the implementation in Thunderbird as a template to copy. However download and building Thunderbird is a fairly involved task which I haven't got around to yet.
