If you wanted something, you'd probably want a proxy, something that
speaks enough IMAP to do LOGIN/AUTHENTICATE, then re-login to Gmail
with OAUTHBEARER, and then just be a pass through. We do something
similar for the reverse proxy for IMAP at Gmail, though again, not
really code that can be shared... though maybe someday someone will
write an Envoy module for that. You could probably write something
like that in a couple hundred lines of code.
For people looking for a proxy to sit in front of G Suite's OAuth, I'd
recommend taking a look at Davmail[1].
Davmail has been letting "traditional" clients talk to Exchange for
ages, providing them with good ol' IMAP, SMTP, CardDAV and CalDAV
interfaces. It already supports OAuth for O365. Since the dev team
have already done a lot of the heavy lifting, contributing to that
project and extending it might not be the worst idea for people
looking for a proxy.
Hrm. So potentially, if Davmail jumps through Google's hoops, one could
point fetchmail at Davmail... Circuitous to be sure, but it's good to
have options.
Thanks for the suggestion.
