Ready to test it, if FORCED to abandon fetchmail.

By the way, I've made a posting to fetchmail-users at lists.sourceforge.net, 
in reply to a posting by Matthias Andree (the latter was sent to Eduardo
in Bcc:)

I also kept a copy of some of the latest list(s) correspondence on this 
issue, but I have to study it, including yours about imapsync (was this 
the name?). Will that be oauth-free ?

I have an openvpn tunnel with my machine at work, which I use sporadically 
for NFS mounts. I tested it also with an http proxy to open to the world 
my local Apache (yes, I do have an Apache httpd which I use only locally 
as a file manager and mysql frontend :-)) but I am not keeping it on. And 
I won't not use the tunnel for smtp. I guess this will not be compliant 
with the GARR AUP.

... who will live, will see
