My understanding may not be perfect, but having considered a similar 
conundrum for a work-integration, I landed on the conclusion that SMTP 
and IMAP should keep working as long as you use app-passwords for 
logging in to your account. If so, that should probably be adequate for 
Emacs too.

Or is my understanding of this situation incorrect?
