Our university decided to set up a third party authenticator called OKTA so these things need to talk to each other. We have figured out how to do this talking and can download e-mail writing our python code but it comes down in json format. I don't want to have to write an entire MTA or e-mail client just to read my e-mail. So I was looking at some other option that can be used. I came across something called JMAP but I am not sure if it is relevant. All this is a bit beyond our domain of expertise and that presents a problem. > I've been trying to find a fetchmail-like thing > that supports OAUTH2 so google will stop badgering > me about using an insecure access, and there is a > python thing called "getmail" which, in theory, has > a plugin for doing OAUTH2 access. > > I haven't tried to set it up yet, so I don't > know if it works to make gmail happy or not. > (I keep seeing references to fetchmail 7 having > support for it, but I can't find any pointers to > even a beta of fetchmail 7). fetchmail 7 alpha has support for this but it is specific for gmail (which is your use case). I have built an RPM for this and am running it, but I have noticed that the copr site also has a new RPM here: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/vcrhonek/fetchmail-7.0.0-alpha/ I know that my RPM works and retrieves e-mail from other servers that do not use this 2FA drivel. I am sure that the copr one does too, but i have not tried it. Btw, fetchmail's options on ssl has changed (you need sslmode wrapped) in 7 alpha. It is not enough to run fetchmail. You need some python code to get your token which is here: http://mmogilvi.users.sourceforge.net/software/oauthbearer.html Note also that you will need to figure out a way to send mail via postfix or some other option. That webpage is pretty detailed. Best option is to ignore OAUTH2 for as long as you can. As I said, this is not relevant to my case.
