I'm using the "getmail-gmail-xoauth-tokens" program from getmail6. Usage is described here: https://github.com/getmail6/getmail6/blob/master/docs/getmailrc-examples#L291 It works with offlineimap and msmtp too. And it doesn't depend on other part of getmail6 so you can grab this script without installing the whole getmail6 if you don't use it. > I know, not strictly a mutt question, but any mutt user who uses > gmail will have to deal with this before the end of the month. > > ...Akkana -- Best regards, lilydjwg
