If you don't have the time or resources to go through this process you can also use this simple proxy of mine, which intercepts the non-OAuth IMAP/SMTP commands and adds OAuth in the background: https://github.com/simonrob/email-oauth2-proxy/

Ah yes. The "Just use FTP + curlftpfs + SVN" approach for solving this problem ;-)

That really doesn't help OP as their customers most likely won't be capable to run that.

Oh, it's certainly not an excuse for Google requiring this process. However, if you do want to use Pegasus Mail (or any other non-OAuth app/script/email tool, etc) after the end of May, this is a way to do so. I think it's quite a safe assumption that many of the HN audience are capable of using it, too ;-)
