Google is announcing that in the future, G-Suite accounts will not support
LSA (Less Secure Access) account connection functionality. 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.)
Fetchmail is indeed a significant issue and
https://sourceforge.net/p/fetchmail/mailman/message/34628292/
suggests that the fetchmail devels aren't going to turn it into
a web browser.
I see that the latest fetchmail 7 alpha tarball
https://netix.dl.sourceforge.net/project/fetchmail/branch_7-alpha/fetchmail-7.0.0-alpha6.tar.xz
contains OAuth2 support.
