Overview
Connect user and shared mailboxes securely with OAuth; start syncing without storing passwords.
Problem
Password-based IMAP/SMTP connections are brittle and noncompliant; sharing creds is risky.
Solution
Use Google OAuth with least-privilege scopes to authorize MailBridge for sync and send.
How it works
Admins enable the connector, staff consent to scopes, and MailBridge starts polling selected labels/folders with strict TLS and backoff.
