 account and have the password, save it to a file reg-email.pass and make

+These are instructions for setting up a Gmail account for use with the
+email-based rendezvous and flashproxy-reg-email. These instructions were
+current as of May 2013.
+
+You may have trouble if you are using Tor to create the account, for two
+reasons. The first is that exit nodes are a source of abuse and Google
+is more suspicious of them. The second is that Gmail is suspicious and
+can lock you out of the account when your IP address is changing. While
+setting up the account, use a single node in your torrc ExitNodes
+configuration. Choose a U.S. exit node, one with low bandwidth.
+
+Go to https://mail.google.com/. Allow JavaScript to run (even from
+youtube.com; it seems to be necessary). Click the "CREATE AN ACCOUNT"
+button.
+
+Enter the account details. You don't need to fill in "Your current email
+address". Enter a mobile phone number for later activation of two-factor
+authentication. Solve the captcha. Click "Next Step". You may have to do
+a phone SMS verification here.
+
+At this point the Gmail account is created. If you are pushed into
+joining Google+, close everything out and go back to
+https://mail.google.com/.
+
+Log out of the account and then back in again. There will be new text in
+the lower right reading "Last account activity". Click "Details" and
+turn off the unusual activity alerts. This will keep you from getting
+locked out when you come from different IP addresses. At this point you
+should remove the temporary ExitNodes configuration from torrc.
+
+Add a filter to prevent registrations from being marked as spam. Click
+on the gear icon and select "Settings". Select "Filters" then "Create a
+new filter". For "Has the words" type "in:spam", then "Create filter
+with this search". There will be a warning that filters using "in:" will
+never match incoming mail; this appears to be false and you can just
+click OK. Check "Never send it to Spam" and click "Create filter".
+
+Enable IMAP. Click the gear icon, then "Settings", then "Forwarding and
+POP/IMAP".
+	* Disable POP
+	* Enable IMAP
+	* Auto-Expunge on
+Click "Save Changes".
+
+Enable two-factor authentication. We do this not so much for the
+two-factor, but because it allows creating an independent password that
+is used only for IMAP and does not have access to the web interface of
+Gmail. Click the email address in the upper right, then "Account". Click
+"Security". By "2-step verification" click "Edit". Click through until
+it lets you set up. The phone number you provided when the account was
+created will be automatically filled in. Choose "Text message (SMS)"
+then click "Send code". Get your text message, type it in, and hit
+"Verify". Uncheck "Trust this computer" on the next screen. Finally
+"Confirm". On the following summary page, click "Show backup codes" and
+save the codes to encrypted storage. Future codes can be generated at
+https://www.google.com/accounts/SmsAuthConfig.
+
+Still on the 2-step summary page, click "Manage application-specific
+passwords". Enter "IMAP" for the name and click "Generate password".
+Save the password to encrypted storage. This is the password that will
+be used with the --pass option of facilitator-email-poller.
