Is this turning off IMAP access to gmail mailboxes?

In my dim recollection, I've used mail clients that used OAuth for IMAP access, plus it appears they are not taking away App Passwords, which I use for almost all my mail clients.

No, you can use IMAP without password, using app token like any other OAuth

You can also still use an "application-specific password".

This is turning off IMAP. The Twitter/Google invented OAuth they pushed on the IETF is not part of or relevant to real IMAP. It's just mega-corp crap. Especially OAuth 2.0.
