gmail-imap

I am using Google's Oauth 2.0 to get the user's access_token, but I dont know how to use it with imaplib to access inbox. user303110 Below is the code for IMAP with oauth 2.0 email = 'k@example.com' access_token = 'vF9dft4qmTc2Nvb3RlckBhdHRhdmlzdGEuY29tCg' auth_string = 'user=%s\1auth=Bearer %s\1\1' % (email, access_token) imap_conn = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL('imap.gmail.com') imap_conn.debug = 4 imap_conn.authenticate('XOAUTH2', lambda x: auth_string) imap_conn.select('INBOX') for more details see the library code . Currently you can use OAuth 1.0 to access Gmail over IMAP and SMTP, but OAuth 2.0 is

I'm currently sending html formatted emails from PHP's mail() function and checking them simply to make sure they are showing up as HTML (formatting aside, I'm well aware that the formatting will vary (probably drastically) from client to client). They are displaying as HTML in the Apple Mail client as well as on my iPhone. However, Gmail simply refuses to display it as HTML as all. And by that I don't mean it is formatted incorrectly, it just simply isn't using HTML it appears. The weird part is that an img from a tag is being loaded, but that's about it... is it that I'm mostly using divs

I'm trying to use Emacs gnus to connect to my gmail account. This is the relevant configuration code, taken mostly from here : (setq tls-program '("openssl s_client -CAfile C:/Users/GGustafson/gmail.crt -connect %h:%p -no_ssl2 -ign_eof")) (setq gnus-select-method '(nnimap "gmail" (nnimap-address "imap.gmail.com") (nnimap-server-port 993) (nnimap-stream ssl) (nnimap-authinfo-file "~/.authinfo"))) (setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it smtpmail-starttls-credentials '(("smtp.gmail.com" 587 nil nil)) smtpmail-auth-credentials '(("smtp.gmail.com" 587 "gordon3.14@gmail.com" nil))

I have generated the following SASL string FOR OAuth 2: user=designadmin@mydesign.mygbiz.com^Aauth=Bearer ya29.AHES6ZTtYOu0NR0vAYbrvKZNcHJPuZEpr4Hk3W3dXcXFQ88^A^A Then i encoded it and sent the encoded string like this: MSB AUTHENTICATE XOAUTH2 encoded string But i get error response as: {"status":"400","schemes":"Bearer","scope":" https://mail.google.com/ "} What does this error mean and how can i correct it? I finally figured it out. In my case, the Gmail scope(" https://mail.google.com/ ") was missing, from the token generation process. It works fine now. +1 to akshay for self answering.

Recently Google announced that they are supporting OAUth for Gmail IMAP/SMTP. I browsed through their multiple documentations, but still I am confused about if they support OAuth for installed applications. 1. In this documentation they say: Note: Though the OAuth protocol supports the desktop/installed application use case, Google only supports OAuth for web applications. But they also have a document for OAuth for installed applications . 2. When I read the OAuth specification pointed by them, it says (in section 11.7): In many applications, the Consumer application will be under the control
