There's one big gotcha though: shortly before Google's 2022-05-30 dead- line for the switch to two-factor-authorization, the upstream maintain- ers of "fetchmail" decided to abandon the 7.0.0 release (coincidence?), causing the Gentoo maintainers to also drop "fetchmail-7.0.0" from Port- age. I ended up cloning the "git" source repository from https://gitlab.com/fetchmail/fetchmail.git checking out branch "remote/next", and then running export PREFIX=$HOME ./autogen.sh ./configure --disable-IMAP --mandir=$PREFIX/man make install which installs the man pages "~/man/man1/fetchmail.1" and "~/man/man1/ fetchmailconf.1" as well as the programmes "~/bin/fetchmail" and "~/bin/ fetchmailconf" in my home directory. But I think this will be only a temporary solution due to lacking maint- enance upstream. Looking around a bit I found "getmail" in the Portage repository which supports OAuth, but apparently only for IMAP. Bummer. Anybody knowing about a replacement for "fetchmail" which provides daem- on mode as well as POP and OAuth support, and also allows to directly feed the fetched mails into "procmail"?
