I know it has been asked before; however, I was wondering if there was any
interest in adapting claws-mail to use the two part authentication as
described by Google here:
https://developers.googleblog.com/2011/03/making-auth-easier-oauth-20-for-google.html

Microsoft has apparently added support for it:

Yahoo has stated that they are going to soon be blocking MUAs that don't
employ it.
