Gmail IMAP with Oauth2 authentication
-------------------------------------
Gmail supports using oauth2 for authentication_ which is more secure.
To handle the handshake and storing the credentials, use python-social-auth_.
.. _authentication: https://developers.google.com/gmail/xoauth2_protocol
.. _python-social-auth: http://psa.matiasaguirre.net/
The Gmail Mailbox is also a regular IMAP mailbox, but the password will be ignored if oauth2 succeeds. It can fall back to password as needed.
Build your URI accordingly::
gmail+ssl://youremailaddress%40gmail.com:oauth2@imap.gmail.com?archive=Archived
Local File-based Mailboxes
