HOWTO:

Bypass Oauth When Using Client Software (Non-web)

Basically, this way of doing things by-passes the need to go through the Oauth authentication process:

• Sign-in to https://www.google.com
• Click on your avatar icon in the top right-hand corner
• From the dropdown, click on 'Manage your Google Account'
• In the left-hand menu, click on 'Security'
• In the 'Signing in to Google' click on 'App passwords'
• Use the 'Select App' dropdown for the type of app you want to create a password for
• Then use the 'Select device' dropdown for the type of device
• Click the 'Generate' button
• Record the password displayed on screen at this point, as after clicking on 'Done' the password is no longer visible and there is no way to display it.

Archiving

Archiving lets you tidy up your inbox by moving messages from your inbox into your All Mail label, so you don't have to delete anything. It's like moving something into a filing cabinet for safekeeping, rather than putting it in the trash can.

Any message you've archived can be found by clicking the "All Mail" label on the left side of your Gmail page. You can also find a message you've archived by clicking on any other labels you've applied to it, or by searching for it.

Labels

Labels help you organize your messages into categories -- work, family, to do, read later, jokes, recipes, any category you want. Labels do all the work that folders do, but with an added bonus: you can add more than one to a message.

Only you can see your labels, so whether you mark a message with "Best friend" or "Read later," the sender will never know.

Inbox Tabs and Categories

Your messages are classified into categories such as Promotions, Social and Updates. You can choose to use categories as inbox tabs, and as labels. These categories make it easy to focus on messages that are important to you and read messages of the same type all at once.
