Given privacy is different than security for this purpose, those of us who do NOT want to give Google permanently a “second something” relish that OAUth2 for PC based clients such as Thunderbird utilize “web authorization” of OAUth2.

Once updated, K-9 Mail users may once again integrate Gmail with the client to use all of the client's functionality with their Gmail accounts. The new K-9 Mail release for Android addresses the issue. Google made OAuth 2 mandatory for Gmail, dropping support for other authentication options. One of the main issues that users of K-9 Mail ran into was missing OAuth support, as it prevented Gmail from working with the client. New features and improvements will be introduced before that happens to make sure Thunderbird desktop users have a positive user experience. The app will stick to the original name for now, but will be renamed eventually. K-9 Mail, which will become Thunderbird for Android in the near future, is a popular mobile email client for Android.
