I don't use fetchmail (just an email client), but fetchmail 7 apparently |
| 18 |
supports oauth2. It's masked in portage because it's still alpha |
| 19 |
(net-mail/fetchmail-7.0.0_alpha9-r1). |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
And then read: |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
http://mmogilvi.users.sourceforge.net/software/oauthbearer.html |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Which also seems to contain Gentoo instructions. Apparently, you don't |
| 26 |
need to apply the patches for fetchmail 6 if you instead unmask and |
| 27 |
emerge the 7.0.0 alpha version. |
