That would also interest me very much.
Because imap with gmail does not work any longer in Aqua Mail without oauth2 (obviously due to restrictions of google).
But I just want to add my other gmail-mail-adresses with oauth2 to Aqua Mail. I don't want to connect this gmail accounts as a whole with my mobile phone.
But if I try to switch my imap-gmail-accuonts to oauth2, it opens the window to add the gmail account to the mobile phone.
So far I found no way to connect just Aqua Mail with the gmail account.
Any solutions?

Just press Next while the dropdown says "Other". This will open your default browser or prompt you to pick a browser to open. You can login from the browser after that.

Regular IMAP login should still work, you just need an app password to be created in your Google account first - https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833?hl=en.
