Gmail alternative for @edu account that is google-based? (lemmy.ml)

I have a @edu.<...>.com account that is owned by google but the login happens outside of google and a callback gives gmail the access to the account. How can i use that account with a FOSS client?

Thunderbird and K-9 Mail almost certainly will allow you to access your @edu emails. If there's a prevention enforced by the institution, Canary Mail is a solid fall back.

Edit: You can access the needed account info in the Gmail settings page and you'll need to grant whatever program third party access to your email as well.
