| I think your assessment is spot on. No work, they do not care.
They claim they’ve seen data loss with Apple mail and calendar with Gmail so strongly recommend against third party clients. FWIW.
Of course they have no opinion on mailmate. That said our local Mac group is where I learned of mailmate, there are a few other users here.
They refused to authorize fantastical oauth when I asked a couple years ago. I didn’t push the matter, quite possible I could have gotten it authorized if I explained it is a desktop client. Sent from phone, please excuse typos and/or brevity

I've been using Gmail recently with an app specific password without any issues. I'm interested in knowing if the first solution above works for Google Workspace users. Well, I'm interested in knowing if an admin can find this setting. It would also be interesting to know if app passwords are allowed for Google Workspace users.
Google discontinued this feature last year for umich.edu. Workspace.
Thanks for the data point! It's interesting to also look into the policy of the university and therefore I googled a bit. It seems this university simply recommends only using Google products and only use Thunderbird for accessibility needs(?). They seem to be mainly concerned about having to provide user support for third party email clients. It does not appear that they would mind if you were using a workaround to access your email without direct MailMate OAuth2 support as long as it does not mean more work for them :)
