hi,
I believe? the alpine developers came up with a solution for this?
I am on the Alpine developers list, even though I do not use the program over much.
may be worth contacting them though,

hi
yes google are removing all  user/password authenticaion apps.
that  wil include mutt fetchmail et al.

they ar egoing oauth only.
i seem to recollect that at the moment there are app passwords still allowed after may 30th.

so if u use 2fa u can get an app password foe mutt fetchmail and so on.
there isa branch of fetchmail that wil do the oath thing, dunno about mutt.

unsure if thunderbird can do it via oauth also.

in short anyting that goes via username/password to access smtp for outgoing mail or imap /pop for incomming mail wont be allowed.

what u can do for incomming mail only is doa pop3 forward to a mail provider that does allow username/password, and access that via mutt.
other than that u got to figure out a way to do it via oauth.

yes its pita but google are google!

Has	 there been any notification for mutt users also; that at the end of may it too can not access gmail accounts?
