Some further info: like it or not this appears to be the way big
commercial email services are going. AOL is ending "less secure"
logins in a couple of months, and they don't currently publish a
method to get oauth2 tokens. (Okay, it's AOL, but it's an example of
the trend.) Yahoo, who owns AOL, hasn't announced anything that I can
find, but I imagine they'll go the same way too.
I really think that gnus will have to support oauth natively in order
to keep up. Not necessarily a pleasant thought, and yes, there are
current workarounds as described in this thread, but ... gnus is not
alone. Other mail clients and mail fetchers will have to follow suit.
Doggone it, I thought it was a sort of cool irony to access AOL mail
via gnus. This will leave a big hole in my life :)
