Since I'm a daily Fetchmail user, I was startled at first, but startpag- |

ing for "OAUTH" and "fetchmail" returned |

- Disabling the "Less Secure App" (LSA) support by Google has been |
13 |
postponed indefinitely, and thus Fetchmail 6.X as currently provid- |
14 |
ed by Gentoo should suffice for the time beeing. |

- OAUTH should be part of Fetchmail 7.X, but as of today the most re- |
17 |
cent downloadable release is 6.4.17. There is a 6.5.0-beta2 branch |
18 |
in the Git repository at SourceForge, but it does not seem to cont- |
19 |
ain anything OAUTH specific. |

So apparently Google is waiting until Fetchmail is ready, or at least so |
