@tknarr@mstdn.social @jmason@mastodon.ie one thing I appreciate using the Shortwave email client is Gmail has a robust third party API. But does fetchmail have a "store in Gmail" system using some Google-proprietary API? Or do you have to forward it with a mail agent via SMTP and hope Google accepts it?

@nelson@tech.lgbt @tknarr@mstdn.social @jmason@mastodon.ie I wrote https://github.com/ScottESanDiego/gmail-api-client to work around this, using exim and fetchmail to get things into #gmail . It's working REALLY WELL so far, with all the usual filters and stuff, just as when using #gmailify . Problem is that it uses "restricted" API calls which means annual code security reviews which I'm not going to do ($$) OR renew the auth every seven days. My app is "in production" so the token isn't expiring, not sure what happens when I fail to do a code review.
