Aargh. Thanks for you post and webpage, Brett. It set me off to try to
get oath2.el working with gnus (failed effort #2).

But, I did learn several things, including this post:

https://sourceforge.net/p/davmail/mailman/davmail-users/thread/x2ey374g953.fsf%40vestur.ifi.uio.no/

At the bottom of the thread, the developer of davmail recommends setting

davmail.imapAlwaysApproxMsgSize=true

in the configuration file. That one change has made MS outlook + gnus as
fast (or slow) as it was before needing the davmail shim.
