Added feature in 0003e68 but still need to document how users enable IMAP in Gmail.
from shawk.
This is the current known workflow. There may be a more secure method, so I'd like to investigate this further. I don't like that this method creates another password with full access to your account (including bypassing 2FA), so maybe there's an IMAP or Gmail specific login available somewhere...
-
Create a Google / Gmail account for your application (It doesn't have to be new, but I suggest you do not use your personal / work account).
-
Follow instructions to set up an App password here and be sure to select app "Other (custom name)" and enter anything to help you remember it. I.e., "shawk".
Be careful though, as this password grants full access to your Google account! Do not share this with anyone and do not commit it!
I recommend creating a
secure.ini
file which your scripts will read in your password from. Add this file to your.gitignore
to prevent accidentally commiting it. -
Follow instructions to enable IMAP access to Gmail here. You only need to complete Step 1, don't worry about Step 2. The Shawk library handles Step 2 for you.
