I gave up on trying to get Claws Mail to work with Gmail and OAUTH2. I
had it working for awhile. It never lasted long, normally a week. I had
to redo the certification again. I tried using Testing and Publish,
both ended up failing at some point.

This is something in my opinion the developers need to implement in to
Claws Mail the like Thunderbird does. I've been testing Thunderbird for
about three weeks now and there are no issues with OAUTH2. 

That said, until I can rid myself of Gmail I have activated TFA in
Gmail and created an App Password for Claws Mail. It works.

I have attached to files. I got them from a post made by Little Girl
dated 13 Jun 2022, subject Oauth2 to save from having to search for
them.
