I'm not getting this re-authorisation every 7 days thing with Google.
They are still giving the refresh tokens. The access tokens only last 1
hour, so to get to 7 days there must be a refresh token. Are you seeing
things like this in the Network Log:

* OAUTH2 obtaining access token using refresh token
* OAUTH2 access token obtained

I've attached 3 screenshots showing how my Claws Mail ClientID is
registered at Google - maybe there's some differences here from how
others have done this? Or maybe Google has changed how newly registered
ClientIDs are granted (I'm using one that's been registered since
2020)?

Mine is set to "Production" status - but retains the not-verified
warnings. I hope this helps,

David.
