Until then, I tell people who ask me to forward mail to Gmail that if
they actually want to get the mail, I'll put it in a local mailbox and
they can tell Gmail to poll it with POP. That works quite well.
Yes, if you are happy to let Google have a password on your system ...
[ I'm off to look at the guarantees that Google make about what
they will and wont do with the user's email, especially given
the guarantees they ask if fetchmail and alpine are to be
allowed to use XOAUTH2/OAUTHBEARER to access to gmail. ]

I agree with you. But then people complain about the delay in
getting the email. It seems to me that there is no option in Gmail
to specify a POP polling interval.
Can they use IMAP with IDLE ?
But the true problem is that they think that the email is an instant
messaging system :-(
Agreed.
