[OT] fetchmail replacement supporting Oauth

Slightly off topic, but I am using this to download mail for mutt to read.

Google seems serious about disabling app passwords for good this time in favor of Oauth.  I use fetchmail to download (not leaving on server) mails from a handful of single use gmail accounts to read locally in mutt.  The unreleased version of fetchmail support oauthbearer, but I don't feel like building fetchmail from git when I only really use it out of inertia.

Does anyone use anything fetchmail-like that:
- supports Oauth
- allows download then delete (ie, I don't want a sync)
- is in Debian bullseye (bonus if it's in buster)
