Hi I am forced to use gmail at my university (the features google offer are a bit different to the personal accounts) and also for some private stuff. There was a discussion in 2022 about the following issue, but then google dropped this subject because of Covid, however now it seems to back: Now google keeps sending me message that from 30th of May 3rd party packages cannot connect anymore to imap+smtp via the traditional way. It is my understanding that it might be possible make emacs (gnus) work with gmail under those circumstances, that is using oauth2. Has anybody got that to work? If so, can he/she share its setting? Thanks Uwe Brauer
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?
