I sent basically the same response but somehow my email never went
through... I'm using mutt with gmail Oauth2 and msmtp and so my
weekly(?) login has expired then something silently eats my outgoing
emails.

In this case the emails that I sent directly before and after went
through so it seems like my login wasn't expired or everything would
have been eaten.

This Oauth2 transition has just been so frustrating. Am I the only
person having trouble with it?
