When I dallied with gmail, they were doing per-application passwords.
Quite how they identified that a different program was accessing their
servers, I do not know (there are various ways of fingerprinting
software, from their handshaking routines).  Though I can certainly see
how they'd easily tell apart a web browser from a mail client.

You had to go into Google accounts and set up an extra login for each
application (same account, different pass).

All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying
to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.

George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
