last year I've successfully got the Google OAuth2 authentication running 
and since then have set-up several accesses without any problem using 
Fetchmail 6.4.x with the OAuth2 patch.

I've documented the Google configuration steps with screenshots for
my personal use in German language. If you want I can send you that
pdf file so that you can try to get your account configured correctly.

Translator ;-)

Juergen-
Thanks, that would be very helpful. Registering with Google was very
confusing!

Cheers
