[MlMt] gmail keeps asking for login credentials

I am trying to set up gmail in MailMate for my personal (i.e. 
@gmail.com) account and a school account which uses google apps (i.e. 
@schoolname.ca).

When I set up the account using Oauth2 it brings up the login screen for 
google, and I successfully log in.  When it prompts me with “Allow” 
or “Deny” I click on “Allow” and it proceeds to close the 
window, and then gets caught in a loop constantly asking me to re-enter 
my credentials (and “Allow” each time).  It feels like something 
isn’t remembering that I allowed access for MailMate.

I will say that I have successfully set this up on another email client 
on a Windows10 machine, and the same steps work, so I know I can set 
this up _somehow_.

Some additional background information: I recently did a re-build and 
copied my MailMate folders over from an old computer (10.12.x) to a new 
one (10.15.x), and this is the first time I am trying to set up a new 
account (all other accounts work fine).  I don’t know if that is 
material to the issue.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
