I don't quite understand this. Won't the email client need the need the password every time to auth with IMAP?
- zeroxfe 10y agoSome IMAP providers like Gmail use a more sophisticated auth mechanism where a secret token is shared over the encrypted link after the first password auth. This token typically has a long lifetime and is used for future sessions.
