Re: oauth2 support for Emacs email clients

[Andrew Cohen]

Ahh, thanks, that was it.

Too many timing variables-the access token has a lifetime of 60 minutes; 
auth-source was caching this for 2 hours; and gpg-agent has a default 
cache time of 2 hours as well.

But a few minutes of configuration and now I don't have to type a 
password too frequently:)
