For the sake of clarity, there are two possible approaches:
1. Each user creates its own OAuth credentials, and uses them to access
their own Google account. From the point of view of Google, this is as if
each user created its own app. This is the solution chosen by Mutt and
others. Its main advantage is that the process is immediate (it takes
only a few minutes). Its main drawback is that it is a rather complex
process.
2. The developer creates OAuth credentials, and includes them in the
program. From the point of view of Google, only one app exists, with many
users. This is the apparently the solution chosen by Kmail, Thunderbird
and others. Its main advantage is that it makes the process very simple
(almost transparent) for users: when they add a Google account to their
mail client, a Google page is opened in a browser, they indicate their
login and password, and that's all. Its main drawback is that it is a
long process, because Google has to review and approve the app. It
requires at least: (1) having a domain name for the app, (2) writing a
privacy policy for the app, (3) creating a video that demonstrates the
OAuth grant process in the app, (4) submitting the app for verification to
Google, and waiting that it be approved.
For the sake of completeness, there is in fact a third possible approach,
which cannot be used by regular Gmail users:
3. If your Google account is a G Suite account (either a business one or
an education one), that is, if your email is managed by Google but your
email address does is not an @gmail.com address, then the G Suite
administrator can do the process (1) above once for all users of a given
mail client. That is, the mail client is approved once for all users of
that domain without the need of a review by Google.
