Google Oauth 2.0 Client ID
Hello, recently my organization made changes to how we handle IMAP and POP sign ins to our Gmail client. We would like users to continue to be able to utilize thunderbird as their mail client. However to do so, it appears google will require Thunderbirds Oauth 2.0 client ID.
I was able to locate the client ID for Microsoft outlook, however I was not able to find the client ID for google. Has anyone been able to find this ID?

Please provide more information. Your post states that people sign in to a Gmail clint? Would you please give further info what you mean by a Gmail client, as that may help immensely. Thank you.

Hi David, I may have misspoken. We want users to be able to use Thunderbird to log into their gmail, while denying IMAP logins from other clients.
You can do this in the google workspace admin console, however you need the unique Oauth client ID each mail client has, and google does not provide this ID. It has to be obtained from the creator of the email client.
Here is google's documentation on what I'm referring to: https://support.google.com/a/answer/105694#findID
The line "To get the OAuth ID for your client, contact the third-party email client company." is what lead me to posting this question here.
I assume you are looking for the auth client secret. While it is a matter of public record, personally I would prefer you looked it up yourself.
