gmail oauth2 got stuck

[lazyclaw-labs]

Anyone tried to connect to gmail imap using email and access-token?
It simply go dead on me. Tried a couple days, nothing worked.
I simply use the example code.
It dies on client.Authenticate("XOAUTH2", @Gmailauth)

Who had any success? by the way, I use runtime-tokio feature.

I'm experiencing the same issue with runtime-tokio. The future never resolves, and my program hangs indefinitely.

Faced the same issue.
This happens because the Gmail IMAP server sends a greeting message. To fix it, add this before the authentication

let _greeting = client.read_response().await?.expect("unexpected end of stream, expected greeting");

[lazyclaw-labs]

Is this part of the normtal protocol? Should the lib take care of this? Or is this just something google play dirty?

[link2xt]

Yes, greeting is part of the protocol.
We at least need to fix examples/src/bin/gmail_oauth2.rs to read the greeting.
Better API would be nice as well.

Any update on a fox for this?
