OAuth 2.0 is certainly not deprecated. You already have the link in the SO answer, but here it is again: https://developers.google.com/google-apps/gmail/oauth_overview Whether or not it is OK to use this in an app is another matter. You should make it clear to users that you want to send email from their account and give them an option to opt out. To make sure the whole thing is legal, etc. hire a lawyer to draft your terms of use/privacy policy, etc. Also make sure users actually accept it before using the app. Disclaimer: IANAL, so take this with a grain of salt. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
