Hi,

Some email services seem to be moving toward requiring MUAs to support
OAuth 2.0, one reason being that they would like MUAs to do two factor
authentication.  It would be nice to have this capability in Gnus's
nnimap.

The Gnus manual makes no mention of OAuth 2.0, I can't find any
suggested configurations online, and there's nothing mentioned in
debbugs about this.

Is support for OAuth 2.0 -- perhaps via oauth2.el available in GNU ELPA
-- something that Gnus could eventually implement?  If so, I guess this
bug report could be where the idea is discussed.

Thanks,
Thomas
