I suppose it might make sense if you were installing a 3rd party gmail application on your desktop.
I'm no oauth expert, but I would imagine an app would go through a flow like this.
- cbanek 8y agoI believe you can connect gmail to your local email client using IMAP/POP3, but I don't think that uses the oauth flow to do that (you just type in the password). I've never used any other kind of 3rd party gmail apps though.
- yellowapple 8y agoNewer email clients do indeed often use Google's OAuth flow for email logins.
