Theoretically, this wizard of Thunderbird could be replicated in Alpine. 
But Thunderbird has maybe a hundred developers (ok, maybe not so many 
after their staff reduction), while Alpine has basically one. The amount 
of features that can be added to Alpine are very limited.

And someone could take the Thunderbird code and design an interface for 
people with difficulties.


That said, my alpine works fine with gmail, for months without touching 
it. In my case, using application passwords. There is always the fear of 
gmail removing that, but apparently they are not going to do that.
