Looks like your mail server doesn't require a login when you're inside their network.
Wouldn't that be a rather curious situation. (And none of the mailers (evolution, geary, thunderbird) let me "join" without a password). I will have to investigate this.

I used pine for many years, and alpine when I end up with somewhere that has a very slow network (not in the past couple years). Alpine always prompted for the password, but it is cached for a session.
XOAUTH2 is a recent addition for gmail users. My mother used a local internet provider for many years. They were bought out by a larger company that seemed to be very tightly connected to Google. That could have been a unique situation as she lived in a place where security was taken more seriously than most small towns (to the point that many of my emails from non-Goggle accounts were blocked(.
Did you set up a gmail account in alpine? Does ziggo.nl let you sign in with your Goggle account?
