Yes, this is about MailMate being EXTORTED by Google but it's also about every other 3rd-party MUA and every major mailbox provider, because they have imposed a web-centric authentication and authorization system on the world which moronically relies on annual security audits of MUAs to certify them for use with the fragile snowflakes which behemoth mail systems apparently are...

#InfoSec #SecurityTheater

Fuck #Google and the garbage imitation of IMAP that they foist on users & fuck their #SecurityTheater of demanding CASA audits of every IMAP client before they allow it to do OAuth2.

If you use #GMail (or Google Workspace) you are actively supporting the enclosure of #email. Google does not want independent standards-compliant MUAs to touch their mail system. Google wants all of its users using their shit web interface or their shoddy apps. They want to own your email.
