Perhaps Alpine is still not the only option for you.
Is there mail applications compatible with assistive technologies and
native to the OS you have installed? If they exist then they likely
support IMAP.
Mail is quite sensitive data. A virtual machine may allow to run all
necessary tools locally. I admit it may be too complicated. Perhaps
Alpine may be installed using MinGW (assuming Windows as the host OS).
I am also hoping the two factor authentication can be done via emai
An application password is a way to avoid two factor authentication
specifically for IMAP access.
Time OTP (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6238 TOTP: Time-Based
One-Time Password Algorithm) is widely supported. It relies on a secret
shared between server and client. There are even python libraries to
generate authentication codes. It is supported by password managers. I
can not suggest a particular one due to your specific requirements.
Keeping the secret on the same device is possible, it is just less secure.
Google does not support email as a second factor. U2F hardware tokens
might be an option.
Email is hardly an option for second factor for authentication to a
email service.
