Re: [Fetchmail-users] Oauth, gmail, docs/guide?

[Dennis P. <da...@be...>]

I've just gone through the same thing. It turns out that OAuth2 is not 
necessary. Log on to your google mail user and set up 2 factor 
authentication. Go to "Manage account'. Select "Security" and enable 2 
factor authentication. One that is done go back to security to "App 
passwords." Follow that process and get a key. Use that key as the 
password in your fetchmailrc and you will be good to go.
