And even then, I bet they're using https://developers.google.com/google-apps/gmail/oauth_overvi... which means you could revoke the oauth token at any time from your Google account!

Looks good. So you can store oauth on server, which should be safer. Is it possible for an oauth client to "suicide" on its permission? I'm thinking, in case a third-party service is comprised, they can just ask the oauth server to abandon their permission to avoid further loss for users.
