Google ID as sort of the IDP?

[Glenn Wearen]

You can use a jaas compliant imap authenticator but you'll need a data source for your resolver if you need any attribute other than principal

http://sourceforge.net/projects/jaas-rimap/ is in production at one IdP hat I'm aware of and seems quite reliable.
