? I'm still downloading my Gmail email via POP3 with getmail, without
OAuth2. For a couple of years now, Google has been pushing OAuth2, but
has still allowed ordinary POP3 / IMAP access to email using "app
specific passwords." Has something changed recently?

FWIW, BTW, getmail (which does support mbox delivery) does have support
for Gmail's OAuth2 (in case you want / need to use it) via its
getmail-gmail-xoauth-tokens script:

https://www.bytereef.org/howto/oauth2/getmail.html

You can also find detailed instructions in the file
"getmailrc-examples.gz", in Debian's getmail6 package.
