Bug Description

Hello,

Google will refuse accepting non oauth2 imap clients. Any chance of upgrading to >=3.18.0 on Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS before end of May?

Thanks.

The current claws-mail supposedly supports Google/Gmails's OAUTH2, as per https://www.claws-mail.org/faq/index.php/Oauth2 ("[Claws Mail] Setting up OAuth 2.0 for Gmail"). Whilst not a fan of Gmail (I use ProtonMail, mostly, with their Bridge, with works fine with Claws (some tweaking required)), Google's restrictions are very annoying, and apparently "solved" for Claws, so can Claws please be updated?

I _am_ aware there is a perhaps more general solution using mailctl (https://www.claws-mail.org/faq/index.php/Oauth2), etc., but have not (yet?) tried it. (As far as I am currently aware, mailctl is not yet(?) in Debian/Ubuntu.)
