Google is announcing that in the future, G-Suite accounts will not

This will put an end to accessing your Gmail account via POP3 or old
school IMAP, unless your email client supports OAuth.
So someone will have to implement OATH support in fetchmail or I will
lose access to customer email addresses on G-Suite.
(Sure, I could fetch the email using Mailmate but 1. I don't want
Google to follow my laptop around the world - that's creepy - and 2.
I have my mailserver fetch my mail so it's more easily backed up.)
2. February 15, 2021 - Access to LSAs will be turned off for all G
Suite accounts.
Clear deadline at least.
This isn't a bad thing, of course.
I'm not sure I share that particular view...
It is not that you could just somehow easily add OAuth support to
things. To get valid client ids for the OAuth to work you have to go
through excessive verification process first as IMAP scope is
something that Gmail considers restricted.
That's convenient!
So basically anyone using fetchmail is (or will be) SOL?
Unless fetchmail can somehow pass the "excessive verification
process"...
