   I was not saying that anything I did was right. I am saying that   
   yesterday Rinaldi's pop entry worked for me. Today it did not.   
   If you follow Google's instructions, you get to a point where   
   you can't access your account.   
      
   I only urged Rinaldi to get the oauth2 work done now.   
      
   I say here that your instructions for oauth2 DO WORK for   
   fetchmail.   
      
   Maybe you can show me your line in .mailrc which includes   
   the new 16 character password?
