Synchronize your 2FA Gmail with mbsync

og:description

In comparison to graphical email applications, configuring the command-line clients can be a needlessly painful experience. Not because of the client configuration itself but rather finding out the proper IMAP settings for your account. Personally, I spent more hours on moving my mail into Emacs (and previously into Mutt), than I care to admit. And in the end, it turned out that the only real obstacle was figuring out, how to get the freaking synchronization with Gmail working. Let me share my findings to potentially ease the pain for you.
