Description ebkalderon 2018-05-04 16:26:20 UTC 
I am trying to sign into a G Suite email address (user@company-email.com) with Geary. Since the company administrators disabled access to less secure apps (https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255?hl=en), this means that I cannot disable this setting, and therefore I cannot log into GMail using Geary.

However, I can log into G Suite just fine from within GOA through the Online Accounts panel in Settings, and also from within Thunderbird. Both of these prompted me with a Web interface to log into my account and did not require the creation of App Passwords. Is Geary planning to support this functionality in the future? Barring that, will it eventually migrate away from its own email backend onto GOA?

This is a huge pain for a long-time, very satisfied Geary user. Thanks in advance.

Hi there, thanks for the bug report. I think this boils down to implementing support for Google's proprietary OAuth IMAP AUTH extension, i.e. Bug 746705. Support for integrating with GOA is also planned (Bug 714876), but that will also depend on having OAuth support. I'd like to get these into the next major feature release (0.13).

As such I'll close this as a duplicate of Bug 746705, but please do feel free to report any further bugs you find.
