The most promising starting point was an old script by Mark Lyon. After a little rejiggering so I could see what error was coming back from Google, I made a couple of more tweaks to use TLS & to take the user’s password.

If anyone’s interested in what seemed to me a strange hoop to hop through before connecting, check the src.
