[MlMt] MailMate, Gmail, & OAUTH2 verification

[Antonio Leding]

“…how much of a hassle maintaining an email server is…”

I would disagree here - I’ve been running my own Postfix + Dovecot 
server for over 9 years with very little maintenance or headache.  I 
will concede a small bit of an initial learning curve but that exists 
with any tech so I chalk that up to education.  Once I got it up and 
running, maintenance has been minimal as it pretty much just runs…
