  • Is it possible to use Alpine Email on Linux to read IMAP emails on Google.

    I did a web search and it recommended doing a app password on Google.
    I went to Google Gmail settings and found nothing about an app password.
    Maybe I missed it or does it now require OATH2?

    TIA.

    Yes, you can use Alpine with Gmail Application Passwords. That is what I do.
