DM: Yes, which makes your job trying to manage the FAQ wiki a
challenging one -- thanks for your work on that. It will probably help
once the necessary code changes are available in a Claws release, and
help even more if/when they are available via the various distros'
official repos. Until then, those who are sufficiently motivated should
be able to get Gmail + Oauth2 working and, if they're not, it sounds
like 2FA and an app password are still an option. Cheers, ---Dustin
