Doesn't work


Expected results:

It should work

I read in another bug that support had to be added on a per server basis.

I'm curious, why is this? Why can't generic OAuth2 support be added, then just deal with problematic servers in one-off bugs?

See Bug 1231642.  And ask an outlook tech to do the required work.

Does this help:

https://sourceforge.net/p/davmail/mailman/message/36440669/

DavMail is an opensource app By Mickaël Guessant

Can his code be recycled in TB if he consents ?

There's this configurable bit either as text or GUI fields:

davmail.oauth.clientId=12345678-1234-5678-9abc-123456789abc
davmail.oauth.redirectUri=https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/nativeclient

They look the same to me.

This one is older, but the other one has more useful comments, so I'll mark this a DUP.

Ok, I'll bite...

Are you saying that OAUTH2 is the same thing as 2FA?

As far as I know, they are completely different - but maybe if this one is fixed, it will also provide OAUTH2 support?
