[Users] Claws has stopped working with GMail in OAUTH2 testing mode

[sgeneris at comcast.net]

So if I understand you correctly it is quite possible that my guess is right
that Google stopped supporting testing mode. The error msg is clearly
to Claws developers (and users don't have "projects"), so will the FAQ
still work - it's a hassle? That's why I asked if there's anybody here
who has folloed the FAQ and Claws still works, or if anybody got a
similar error.

As I said, nothing changed here.
