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?
