I'm new to Emacs, but enjoying it very much. Just got mu4e working with Gmail XOAUTH2 (for a G Suite account that the administrators have implemented their own "delightful login experience"). Would there be any interest in reading a writeup?

Hell yeah.

Yes please!

Definitely. I approached the set up mu4e + offlineimap over multiple accounts (including a GMail one) many times, and I've never been fully satisfied with it. I'd really want to get it to work flawlessly, so I'd love to be able to learn from your experience.

  What doesn't not fully satisfied mean for you? I might just have lower standards...

    I think you should offlineimap; Use mbsync ( iSync )
    - iudqnolq 7y ago
      Offlineimap and mbsync are two separate tools that do the same thing. I've had a good experience with offlineimap. In both cases, however, the hard part is not picking the tool but configuring it.

Absolutely. I've been wanting to try that, but haven't put all the pieces together yet.

Absolutely yes

  Thank you, your blog posts are really informative and clear. I am guessing from the last two you have working SMTP, and that's the step I'm stuck on. Any advice?

    I have additional config for SMTP.

      That appears to use password Auth and not oauth?
      - xenodium 7y ago
        Correct Authinfo used for storing encrypted password in config (instead of plaintext). No OAuth in my setup (also not using Gmail). ps.
