Description Debarshi Ray 2012-10-02 14:13:28 UTC 
For GNOME 3.8, we have migrated GOA to use OAuth 2.0. Should use SASL_XOUTH2 for IMAP and SMTP: https://developers.google.com/google-apps/gmail/xoauth2_protocol

See bug 661065

Committed an untested prototype based on the specification:
http://git.gnome.org/browse/evolution/commit/?id=1ed5b89c02656c9172957980c85e412a27b2e6a2

I'll give it some testing once I get GOA upgraded to 3.7.x.

The XOAUTH2 module worked on the first try, but the online-accounts module in E-D-S required some extra help transitioning existing accounts.

But GMail + XOAUTH2 is working now.
