apt-get install offlineimap

1. Enable Gmail API
2. Create Oauth2 Credentials. You'll get a clientid and clientsecret which you'll need to put into ~/.offlineimaprc and use in the oauth2.py
3. Clone google/gmail-oauth2-tools and use the script in python/oauth2.py.

4. #!/bin/bash
   
   d="$HOME/Mail/gmail-oauth2-tools/python"
   
   clientid='<id>.apps.googleusercontent.com'
   clientsecret='<secrect>'
   
   ${d}/oauth2.py \
     --generate_oauth2_token \
     --client_id=${clientid} \
     --client_secret=${clientsecret}

5. Running this script will open a web browser. Login with the gmail account you wish to sync. It will provide a Refresh and Access token. Copy both into ~/.offlineimaprc

Also works with a google apps account with a custom domain.
