# Here's how to register an OAuth2 client for Gmail, as of 2017-05-15:
# - Go to the Gmail API overview console
# https://console.developers.google.com/apis/api/gmail.googleapis.com/overview
# - Create a new project, name doesn't matter, e.g. 'gmail-sync-bob'
# - In API & Auth, select Credentials
# - Setup the OAuth Consent Screen
# - Then add Credentials of type OAuth 2.0 Client ID
# - Choose application type Other; type in a name for your client
# - You now have a client ID and client secret
# - Once created, click 'Enable'
# - Click 'Create credentials' in the enabled API overview
# - In 'Add credentials to your project' select 'Gmail API' as the
# API type, and 'Other UI ...' (not 'Other non-UI ...') for
# 'Where will you be calling the API from?'. For 'What data will
# you be accessing?' select 'User data'.
# - Click 'What credentials do I need?'
# - Create an arbitrary 'Create an OAuth 2.0 client ID',
# e.g. 'gmail-sync-bob-client'. For 'Set up the OAuth 2.0 consent
# screen' select an arbitrary 'Product name shown to users',
# e.g. 'gmail-sync-bob-client' & click 'Continue'.
# - This gives you your client ID displayed on the screen. Click
# 'Download' to get a JSON file that also has the client secret.

#oauth2_client_id = YOUR_CLIENT_ID
#oauth2_client_secret = YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET
