Dangerous. Single point of failure.
Be careful.

yep ::) they are *ALL* a single point of problems...
Some decades ::) ago I was on both gmail and http://safe-mail.net/ ..
Doing relay for my local servers..
for the sake of not going against the exponential uncle goog grw..
ditched the latter..
today I am considering yet again having redundant relays...
locally stuff is interfaced externally with Postfix but all internal goes QMail
DJB stuff is unbeatable

2 more cents on this OAuth nonsense saga... :o
After dealing with a lot of this *** for a while..
it seems now obvious to me that it is arguably useless..
reason being:
- it does not add security whatsoever better than already done with SSL/TLS channels
- it really locks out a lot of external reliable tools for 3rd part competitors ..
- namely all stand alone relays like QMail Postfix .. sendmail.. fetchmail
- it is a total pain to setup a reliable server outside the scope of their intended business..
- and very limited security de facto is (if not a considerable insecurity arises)
Have a deep look at the scripts and patches for fetchmail devel 7.x
Postifx and fetchmail kludges available here

magic:
By the way, to access GMail with OAuth2 you will need a client ID issued by Google.
There are many tutorials how to generate your own, which I think is only valid for accessing the account that requested it without paying $$$ to Google. But if you don't want even the hassle of generating a free client ID valid for your own account, there is also an option to use a well known ID.
This one works :-DD

I think that is their whole purpose of this exercise: lock out all 3rd party activities and channel everything you do to be within the google universe.
There was a saying (supposingly by Stern, the one NYU Business School is named after): "When you got the customers by the balls, their hearts and minds will folllow."
