Using Gmail/GSuite IMAP OAUTH with Service Account

The Gmail/GSuite IMAP and SMTP servers have been extended to support authorization via the industry-standard OAuth 2.0 protocol. Using OAUTH protocol, user can do authentication by Gmail Web OAuth instead of inputting user and password directly in application.

You can click here to learn more detail about "OAUTH/XOAUTH2 with Gmail SMTP Server".

Google Service Account

Normal OAUTH requires user input user/password for authentication. Obviously, it is not suitable for background service. In this case, you should use google service account to access G Suite email service without user interaction. Service account only works for G Suite user, it doesn't work for personal Gmail account.

Create your project in Google Developers Console

To use "G Suite Service Account OAUTH" in your application, you should create a project in Google Developers Console at first.

Important Notice: You can use any google user to create service account, it doesn't require service account owner is a user in G Suite. But G Suite administrator must authorize service account in G Suite Admin Console to access user mailbox.

Open Google Developer Console, create a new project by https://console.developers.google.com/projectcreate.
After you created the project, select it from projects list as current project.

Create service account under current project

Click "Credentials" -> "Manage service accounts"
Click "CREATE SERVICE ACCOUNT"
Input a name for your service account, click "CREATE"
In "Service account permissions", select "Project" -> "Owner" as role
In "Grant users access to this service account", keep everything default and click "DONE"

After service account is created, you should enable "Domain-wide delegation" and create service key pair to access G Suite user mailbox.

Enable "Domain-wide delegation" and create service key

Go back to your service account, click "Edit" -> "SHOW DOMAIN-WIDE DELEGATION", check "Enable G Suite Domain-wide Delegation", input a name for product oauth consent, click "Save".
Go back to your service account again, click "Create Key", you can select "p12" or "json" key type, both can work well, then you will get a file which contains private key, save the file to local disk.

Now you have created service account with key pair successfully. You can use created private key in your codes to request "access token" impersonating a user in G Suite.
To access user data in G Suite, you must get authorization from G Suite administrator. You should go to service accounts list, click "View Client ID" like this:
Then record your "Client ID" and service account email address, forward it to G Suite administrator for authorization.

Authorize service account by G Suite administrator

To use service account to access user mailbox in G Suite, G Suite Administrator should authorize specified service account at first.

G Suite Administrator should open admin.google.com, go to Admin Console, click "Security";
Click "Advanced settings" -> "Manage API client access";
Input service account "Client ID" in Client Name, and input "https://mail.google.com/,email,profile" in One or More API Scopes, click "Authorize".

After G Suite administrator authorized service account, you can use it to access any users mailbox in G Suite domain.

Use service account to send email impersonating user in G Suite Domain

The following examples demonstrate how to send email with service account + G Suite OAUTH

Remarks

You don't have to request access token every time, once you get an access token, it is valid within 3600 seconds.

If you don't want to use OAUTH 2.0, Gmail also supports traditional ESMTP authentication, but you need to enable Allowing less secure apps or Sign in using App Passwords.
