I have been using msmtp for many years and I imagine many others have been too. I see that it supports "oauthbearer" authentication which presumably authenticates with Gmail, although it seems like the old "application password" method is still working for me. So I see no need to switch to anything else. > restmail is useful with `bts` and `git send-email` for sending > text-format emails via your existing cloud email without smtp or > proxies. I'm not sure I understand the use case. Why doesn't traditional use of msmtp work for some people?
