   Went through the google auth procedure to get app password.   
   logged into my google email account, brought to settings, show all   
   and set google mail to use imap. Configured it to do whatever the   
   client says to do with mail message.   
      
   installed dovecot on my system so I can use imap in claws-mail and   
   thunderbird apps. I did have to change my old google email login password   
   to new google app password.   
      
   Works for me. I did change from pop to imap.

   Did all the above for my   
     # grep mail /etc/passwd | wc -l   
     7   
   email accounts each of which runs fetchmail cron job hourly.   
      
   I also have a root cron which checks all linux mail boxs and   
   uses xmessage to tell me who needs to read any new mail.   
      
   With this setup there is no reason to log into gmail's email website.
