Hey, GMail doesn't have a public API does it? Could you tell us a bit about how you integrate with gmail, I thought they kept it pretty locked down?

- famousactress 15y agoYou mean other than SMTP or POP? Those are both definitely public APIs.
- spindritf 15y agoAnd you can set separate passwords for various applications if you enable two-factor authorization.
- rcthompson 15y agoThose also require your password, as far as I'm aware.

- liuhenry 15y agoBaudehlo is correct. Gmail provides a SASL extension called XOAuth that allows you to authenticate IMAP/SMTP with OAuth tokens.
- rcthompson 15y agoWell, that's cool.
- baudehlo 15y agoYes, you OAuth and then you can use IMAP with XOAUTH login.
