Does anyone have an example of a .pinerc file that can directly download
imap mail from Gmail using an application specific password?

I had such a file but it no longer works.

I am not sure that application specific passwords are still supported by google; they have been trying to replace them for some years.

tells you how to create and use them. Following those instructions should
confirm that you still have an application specific password.

Failing that, I have just confirmed that the (X)OAUTH2 support in Alpine allows me to set up and *read* my gmail via imap.
I have not tested *downloading* this email.
