Description

🚀 Feature

We would like domain-wide access for a workspace admin to all Gmail-accounts within the workspace, without the need for oauth-consent for each Gmail-account.

This can be achieved via a google service-account, see https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2/service-account

Here is a (dot-net) example which demonstrates the service-account + imap case: https://www.limilabs.com/blog/oauth2-gmail-imap-service-account

Research direction
Examine the current Gmail and IMAP authentication flow in Cypht. Research how Google service accounts with domain wide delegation work and what changes would be needed to support two legged OAuth for workspace admins.
