DM: Assuming that Claws Mail on the second computer...
* 1. Is just a 'clone' or 'backup' of what is on #1,
* 2. Is installed in the same type of OS (eg. Windows, Linux, etc.) as
  #1,
* 3. Is using the same Gmail account as #1,
... then I think the easiest / best way to do what you want is to just
copy the Claws Mail configuration directory from #1 to #2. (This
assumes you know the location of the configuration directory on both
computers. If you don't, you can probably find out the default location
for your OS(s) on the Claws website or the archives of this list.) All
of your settings (including the OAuth2 settings) are included in this
directory. For best results, make sure you're using the same version of
Claws Mail on both computers. HTH, ---Dustin
