Their requiring registration of the "app" (we have never called
fetchmail that) - and not solely the user for his or her own account -
is one of the reasons why I say that OAUTH2 in this form is generally a
non-starter and does not scale.

I cannot possibly register fetchmail with each and every mail service,
and device registration is somewhat pointless anyways.

So tell your mail service provider to stop that "app" registration
nonsense. I may seem pointless, but if nobody tells them, they will
never notice.
