"fetchmail" and "ssmtp" to retrieve and send mail via my Google account.

I've seen quite a few people with "@gmail" or "@googlemail" addresses on
this list, so others might have a similar problem,  but maybe nobody but
me is using this Google + "fetchmail" + "ssmtp" combination.   Any ideas
how to get OAuth into this set-up?

If it helps, here are the relevant configuration files:

user rainer.woi...@googlemail.com

I don't use fetchmail (just an email client), but fetchmail 7 apparently 
supports oauth2. It's masked in portage because it's still alpha 
(net-mail/fetchmail-7.0.0_alpha9-r1).


And then read:

http://mmogilvi.users.sourceforge.net/software/oauthbearer.html

Which also seems to contain Gentoo instructions. Apparently, you don't 
need to apply the patches for fetchmail 6 if you instead unmask and 
emerge the 7.0.0 alpha version.

It _almost_ "just worked". The names of the displays changed, so I had
to modify my xinit/openbox startup file according to get things
arranged correctly.
