Hi Xiyue,

I implemented auth-source lookup for imap.el (patch below). Would
there be any chance to see if you could extend your package to support
xoauth2 for imap.el?

It should be enough to add xoauth2 to `imap-authenticators', and
`imap-xoauth2-auth-p' and `imap-xoauth2-auth' to
`imap-authenticator-alist' (and their implementations, of course).

Robert
