I have been using the Google 2 answering machine for some time and have configured several applications. One of them is offlineimap (where I download mail), but when I use mu4e to create a message, I get the following error:
Sending failed: 534-5.7.9 Application-specific password required.

I have configured ~ / .authinfo.gpg (and it decrypts successfully manually), and my ~ / .offlineimaprc calls get_password_emacs (the example I used can be found here ).
I even tried to skip the gpg part to see if it works using my mu4e Google App Password directly in ~ / .offlineimaprc, but I get the same result.
My file is ~ / .authinfo.gpg: (decrypted here, confidential information deleted)
machine imap.gmail.com login me@gmail.com port 993 password GoogleAppPassword
machine smtp.gmail.com login me@gmail.com port 587 password GoogleAppPassword
My ~ / .offlineimaprc file:
[general]
accounts = Gmail
maxsyncaccounts = 3
pythonfile = ~/.offlineimap.py
[Account Gmail]
localrepository = Local
remoterepository = Remote
[Repository Local]
type = Maildir
