google high security and linux command line email programs

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Hi,
I'm writing this e-mail in Alpine from my gmail adress using an in-app 
password. No problems whatsoever. You're prompted for the password at the 
start of the session, as well as the first time you send an e-mail during 
that session.

No idea if Google actually detects my client, or what would happen if I 
selected another program.

hth,
Tobias
