What's the scope for Gmail's OAuth2 IMAP access?

I'm using google-api-python-client and imapclient libraries to try get IMAP access to Gmail.

When going through the authentication flow, I'm getting "invalid scope" errors. I've tried both https://mail.google.com and https://mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom as scopes.

Here's what I'm trying to do:

from oauth2client.appengine import OAuth2Decorator

SCOPE = "https://mail.google.com"
# SCOPE = "https://mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom"

oauth2decorator_gmail = OAuth2Decorator(client_id="CLIENT_ID",
                                   client_secret="CLIENT_SECRET",
                                   scope=SCOPE,
                                   callback_path='/mycallbackurl')

class AuthenticateSyncServices(webapp2.RequestHandler):
    @oauth2decorator_gmail.oauth_required
    def get(self):
        self.response.write("Authenticated")

And here's the stacktrace:

INFO     2013-06-06 08:56:36,686 client.py:1304] Failed to retrieve access token: {
  "error" : "invalid_scope"

From https://developers.google.com/gmail/xoauth2_protocol:

The scope for IMAP and SMTP access is https://mail.google.com/
