I'll try this as soon as somebody proves to me it doesn't immediately send my GMail password to a Russian spam factory.

Have you tried Little Snitch before?

Is that the app that lets you watch them send your password to the Russian spam factory in real time?

[mishmash]

Yep that's the one. Haven't used it in a while but it used to work great.

using google apps premier two factor auth and create a new key for it so you dont have to give it your real password and can revoke at anytime. (assuming Sparrow supports google apps email?)

It doesn't. It only contacts imap.gmail.com and l.google.com
