Interesting.
My MotionEye almost crashed and burned when my email provider upgraded to OAuth2.0 and it filled up with email alerts and collapsed. I ended up having to write an email relay program that MotionEye could connect to which then did a simple store and forward to a command line email client that could talk OAuth2.0.
Agreed, starting from knowing nothing about email servers it was a struggle but in the end quite do-able after a few hours searching the web for examples. Yep. I learnt a lot because I needed to and its been running quietly on one of my spare Pi's for couple of years now.
