This article seems to indicate an XOAUTH2 with email.. going to give it a shot.. but still can't find anything indicating that this is allowed or supported. It would be good to find out if we can use the email service without user intervention (except for the initial pop-up in the app that asks for user permissions), or if google does not want apps to send out emails on behalf of users using their gmail accounts even IF the app describes it and the user accepts.
