Hi Rosemary,

I haven't tried any of this yet but it seems I will need to do something
by May 30 eh? ;-) Here are some random posts I have kept that may
or may not help you figure this out. Messy but may give you some clues
on how to proceed...

Paste the complete URL from the blank page to the field 'Authorization
code' and press the button 'Authorize'. Remember to not enter something
in the password field on the 'Basic' page as this is where the token is
entered after pressing the 'Authorize' button. User ID is your email
address. On the TLS page choose 'Use STARTTLS command to start
encrypted session' for both IMAP and Send (SMTP). On the advanced page
choose port 587 for the SMTP port.

Same problem. But I'm stuck at scopes step.

There's no "Gmail API" scope in the list to add.
If entering e.g. "Gmail API" to entry below scopes string, it says
"Gmail" and "API" are invalid.

Initially all scopes lists are empty, so there's nothing to select.

Err, apologising.
I was too slow until found, how to add more APIs

OK, thanks it works now. But a few things seems misleading in the FAQ.

I have left the project status as "testing" not "in production" (it
would make no sense for me, I am only a user, not the developer of
claws mail). I have added myself as a testing user and I have added
nothing under the "restricted scopes". It seems to work.

The FAQ is a wiki, please help other users by improving its content.
