iirc, you get an acknowledgement/confirmation/authentication originally
and no more. I set it up last year and my mail system for two goggle
accounts and have not been requested additional auth since for either.

I use fetchmail and procmail:
poll imap.gmail.com with interval 0 proto imap port 993 timeout 150 \
auth any, and tracepolls
user 'abcdef.ghij', with password "abcdefghijklmno", is Ixme here, \ and
ssl, and fetchall sslcertck
mda '/usr/lib/sendmail -i -oem -f %F %T'
user 'ghijklm.nopqr', with password "abcdeXXXXXlmnoo", is Ixme here, \ and
ssl, and fetchall sslcertck
mda '/usr/lib/sendmail -i -oem -f %F %T'
it just works.
