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.

@ScottE@mastodon.social @nelson@tech.lgbt @jmason@mastodon.ie Hmm. 'deliver' can take email on stdin and send it to an IMAP server. That would avoid having to use any Gmail APIs at all. Using it with the --mda option to fetchmail looks promising.
