Any tips? Any progress on another type of authetication?
I mean, we've only talked about our XOAUTH2 support for gmail here
for ... 5 years now :-)
We officially support Gmail via XOAUTH2; there was a time when our
approval was denied, but thanks to some hard work it was approved
and should work fine. I believe starting with the mhlogin(1) man page
might be helpful.
Some clarification on the current status: At this point, there are two
ways to use nmh's XOAUTH2 support for gmail.
The support that's in mainline nmh (including nmh 1.7) for XOAUTH2 uses
these send(1) switches:
-sasl -saslmech xoauth2 -authservice gmail -tls -server
smtp.gmail.com -user examplefoo@gmail.com
See the send(1) and mhlogin(1) man pages. This access was not approved
by Google, so you'll get a warning when you set up access with mhlogin.
The second way to use XOAUTH2 is with Google APIs. That has been
approved by Google. There's an implementation on the nmh-gmailapis
branch. The docs/contrib/gmailapis/README.md file has setup instructions.
It's currently written in Python, but some day I hope to integrate it
into the mainline nmh C code.
