Currently uses alpine to access their gmail account.
A bit of context
I experience sight loss, with basic html my only direct access to my gmail
account..which has been removed as of last Monday.
I use my gmail account personally and professionally, its lost is quite quite
quite a situation for me.
There is an associate in Toronto who is aiming to provide an email setup,
configuring alpine to access gmail, but he has never configured alpine
before.
As I experience sight loss, and have only accessed my gmail account via the
web interface, I need to
1, be sure what I am told should happen here incorporating imap is what I
expect,
and 2, insure my associate has correct information, all of my alpine access
is via dreamhost, and they do not configure alpine well.
My associate is using Alpine 2.5, which I recall has a tool that allows one
to authenticate to gmail, but I am seeking someone with direct experience so
this gets done to the best of Alpine's ability.
If you are personally doing this, Can you please write me off list?
I absolutely positively do not have the emotional capacity to gamble here,
hoping to connect Ron with someone who knows what they are doing.

thanks,
I use Alpine to receive or read email (for sending I use Postfix in my
Linux machine). I am on version 2.26, so I'm confused by you claiming you
use version 2.5
I do access gmail account, but perhaps not the way you are thinking off.
I do not now how to write a step by step howto, sorry.
The first step is to get an Application Password.
<https://support.google.com/mail/answer/185833?hl=en>
Create & use app passwords
Go to your Google Account.
Select Security.
Under "Signing in to Google," select 2-Step Verification.
At the bottom of the page, select App passwords.
Enter a name that helps you remember where you'll use the app password.
Select Generate.
<https://www.zdnet.com/article/gmail-app-passwords-what-they-are-how-to-create-one-and-why-to-use-them/>
Once you have such a password, you can add the mail account in Alpine and
just give that application password when asked.
This is a sample configuration:
"Gmail" {imap.gmail.com/ssl/user=youracco...@gmail.com}INBOX
This way you do not have to use OAuth2, which is a complication.
The sending part I don't know how to handle in Alpine (because I do it
using a Linux system daemon), but the trick is giving it the application
password.
HTH, and others may fill in the holes.
