Re: the OAuth issues: to remove some of the hassle of this, you can use my proxy/relay to allow any IMAP (or POP/SMTP) client to be used with a “modern” email provider, regardless …

I built a proxy a while ago to make this easier - it lets you stick with IMAP/POP/SMTP as-is. No need for your client to even know that OAuth exists. See here: https://github.com/s…

What makes you say the protocol is different for each provider? I maintain a proxy that transparently adds support for OAuth 2.0 support to IMAP/POP/SMTP clients ( https://github.c…

There's no good way around that unfortunately. The proxy could build in an OAuth client for the major providers, but it's unlikely that this would be trusted by default without sig…

If you can’t switch to OAuth, you can use my proxy to allow any IMAP (or POP/SMTP) client to be used with a “modern” email provider, regardless of whether the client supports OAuth…

When it became clear many major email providers were going to require OAuth for IMAP/POP/SMTP access, I was pretty frustrated that I’d have to stop using clients/scripts that didn’…

You can also use this (locally-hosted) proxy of mine which transparently adds OAuth 2.0 support to any IMAP/POP/SMTP client: https://github.com/simonrob/email-oauth2-proxy .

If you use this proxy of mine then any IMAP (or POP/SMTP) client can be used with a “modern” email provider, regardless of whether it supports OAuth 2.0 natively: https://github.co…

Google only lets you use app-specific passwords if you have set up two-step verification (and provided a phone number). If you have an email client that doesn't speak OAuth and you…

Just FYI, you can also do this with the inbuilt Shortcuts app - create a shortcut to scan a QR code then copy its contents to the clipboard for example.

You do still need details for an authorised client, but it’s possible to use those of one that’s already approved. See the readme section that explains this aspect: https://github.…

The thing you have to remember about those usage figures is that they don’t really include the large numbers of low-end devices that are often running quite old versions of Android…

Oh, it's certainly not an excuse for Google requiring this process. However, if you do want to use Pegasus Mail (or any other non-OAuth app/script/email tool, etc) after the end of…

If you don't have the time or resources to go through this process you can also use this simple proxy of mine, which intercepts the non-OAuth IMAP/SMTP commands and adds OAuth in t…

If all you need is IMAP/SMTP you can use this local proxy to continue using the “less secure” app without needing app passwords: https://github.com/simonrob/email-oauth2-proxy
