Can Fetchmail do oauth2? Does any Fetchmail substitute (getmail, for
instance) do Oauth2? If not, this dispossesses people like me, who
download email messages independently of their email client.

So once again I ask, if you have the power to make the decision, do you
really want to jump through all the hoops Gmail puts in front of you?
