[tor-talk] Google disable web-access to gmail for Tor-users?

[James Brown]

I run Icedove 3.5.16 on Debian Squeeze (under a transparently-torified
linux user), Tor v0.2.1.30, TB 1.2.5.

When I try to log into my gmail accounts I have the next message:
>  We've detected a problem with your cookie settings.

I have enabled cookies, because it I try to clear my browser's cache and
cookies but I have the same result.
The next, I go to the page "Changing privacy settings" and I read the
bellow:
>  you have your browser's privacy settings set to 'High' you may be unable to access Google Accounts. To resolve this problem, please add www.google.com to your browser's list of allowed sites.
