In case it saves you any time, the .fetchmailrc recipe I used
to use to deliver via procmail is

mda "/usr/bin/procmail -f %F -m /path/to/.procmailrc"

I can't remember if I ever ran fetchmail to gmail's server, but
even if I did, Google constantly changes the way things work so
any recipe I had back then would be unlikely to work now.
And whether you use "allow less secure apps" or OAuth or whatever,
mbsync or fetchmail, Gmail will probably periodically fail and make
you re-authenticate every few months.

Makes sense. There must be a way, but I'm not coming up with any more ideas.
