I'm curious why you would need OAuth2 with a desktop
or laptop. Isn't the point of that to force phone apps
to officially register as legitimately trustable? I may be

Google CBA to write separate code for people using other than 'phone
app.s; be thankful they let you use normal email clients at all.

missing something, but it looks to me like the unique
aspect is that 1) the app has to ask you for permission
and 2) the app has to confirm its identity to gmail. Neither
of those steps would be relevant using TBird on Windows.
