GMAIL Access in Alpine Through WSL?

[Chime Hart]

HI All: My Linux expert posted this question in alpine-info, but I notice more
folks read over here-and-he is not in Usnet. Here are his comments-and-thanks
in advance
Hello all,

I have set up Alpine with Gmail and I'm able to successfully connect to the
Gmail account and access/send email. The issue is that this just stops
working after a couple of days. This is coming from a WSL environment
(Ubuntu). I have the master password set up and if necessary I can open the
links provided in Alpine and work through the steps to re-auquthorize it.
The weird thing is that each time I'm pulling down the exact same token
from Gmail. The Google account info says that the access "Does not expire"
but it still stops working. I have a master password file set up.

If I were to main user of this account, then this would be an annoyance and
nothing more, but this is set up for a blind woman who is still learning to
interact with the screen reader. She is not able at this time to go through
those steps. So, if there is a way to keep the authentication going
on Alpine's end, I'd love to hear it.

Please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions.

Hm, strange. First of all, did you check the logs? Maybe there are some
good clues there.
