Thanks Carlos for both your posts.

That is also my impression that at some point in the future they might
want to take app passwords away there, too. It's not clear, but I was
under a similar impression.

The open issue is how to solve the app registration issue. I explicitly
do NOT want to register fetchmail with a gazillion of services down the
road, so does anyone have good references to legal interpretations on
that matter, or possibly references to regulatory incursions that were
aimed to avoid such registration obligations in some states? Thanks in
advance.
