Hi, Thank you very much for these pointers! I had no idea that I should look for OAuth2. I have been trying to work through them over the past two days and came up with these two links that may be helpful: http://mmogilvi.users.sourceforge.net/software/oauthbearer.html However, I don't know how this would work for non-gmail account users. Any suggestions? We have tokens issued using a google authenticator and that is what has to be entered (as long as the token is valid). but it is not clear to me where I enter this, and how. Also, I am not quite sure how to send mail (I use sylpheed, smtp) but how do I get this to work in this sort of multi-factor authentication environment? I came across the following: https://softwarerecs.stackexchange.com/questions/30189/looking-for-a-cli-e-mail-sender-that-supports-oauth-2-0 but I am not sure how to get this to work. Btw, are there alternatives to fetchmail that support OAuth2? Many thanks again for any help and best wishes!
