  • Is it possible to use Alpine Email on Linux to read IMAP emails on Goog

    From [email protected]@21:1/5 to All on Wed Jun 18 17:01:50 2025
    I did a web search and it recommended doing a app password on Google.
    I went to Google Gmail settings and found nothing about an app password.
    Maybe I missed it or does it now require OATH2?

    TIA.

    Yes, you can use Alpine with Gmail Application Passwords. That is what I do.
