[Fetchmail-users] Is Oauth supported?

Hi,

I finally got my IEEE mail setup in Thunderbird. It is using a 
GoogleApps account (thunderbird recognizes the ieee email address and 
sets it up from data in its database, something that did not happen 
previously).

I would like to set it up also using fetchmail, but I don't know if it 
is possible.

The settings in Thunderbird are:

   Connection security:    SSL/TLS
   Authentication method:  OAuth2

I'm not familiar with this "OAuth2". I don't see it in "man fetchmail", 
but maybe my version is old:

cer@Telcontar:~> fetchmail -V
This is fetchmail release 6.3.26+POP2+GSS+RPA+NTLM+SDPS+SSL+OPIE+NLS+KRB5.


Ideas? A link to somewhere is fine (rtfm :-) )


(notice that it is not a pure gmail account, but an ieee account using 
google apps (GoogleApps@IEEE) backend. Thus setting in gmail their “less 
secure authentication” option will not work, I'm afraid.)


What works is what I was doing previously: redirect mail to another 
(plain) account elsewhere.
