I just did this for my alpine mail reader, and it's not so simple. It may
be simpler to use a mail reader that has XOAUTH2 built in, then connect to
both Gmail and your mail account, then drag and drop all your mailboxes.
If you want to do it the hard way, the document for alpine might be
useful for a single Gmail account, at least to set up the Gmail end.

After that, you have to do some rigamrole to use these IDs to create
the credentials you can use for IMAP authentication.

The answer from Aki Tuomi [1] to use the Google OAUTH was already very
helpful for me. It worked out fine for me to copy the Bearer token from
there. The use of copy the messages in Thunderbird was my backup option
as well.
Good luck.
