Hi all,
Has anybody successfully used kmail with anything that requires oauth2 authentication (m$, google, ...)? I am currently in the need to setup a client with outlook365 (what a pest). My plan was to go with https://github.com/simonrob/email-oauth2-proxy - but maybe there is a better way?

AFAIK it's not working in native way, so may be try the proxy one. I use thunderbird for those who require oath2

Hi Nik, KMail currently does not support OAuth2 (yet). You can try using "Email OAuth 2.0 Proxy" (https://github.com/simonrob/email-oauth2-proxy/tree/main) as an OAuth2 proxy for it. Haven't tried it myself, so if you try, please let us know how it goes.
Cheers Michele

I should probably connect my brain before replying you to try out what you were already planning to try out :-( Sorry for the noise :-)

FYI: Ok, hours later and no success. "email-oauth2-proxy" asks for some tokens that you should get your hand on after the first successful oauth2 login - which is kind of a problem, when you do not get oauth2 working in the first place. Same happened with "evolution" - token required, but not available. I did not try thunderbird, 'cause the calender implementation was broken last time I tried add calender was a "must". So in the end it's outlook web client - what a riduculous clumsy gui, "seeing is believing" gets a totally new meaning.

I have to access such mail for work too.
I use Prospect Mail - seems to be some wrapper around Outlook web.
Actually it's terrible (I mean Outlook), but my school has decided to block mail forwarding (don't understan why) so that was the only solution I found.
Sort of works - but will be deleted once I retire :)

I managed to activate mail forwarding: - one single mail was successfully forwarded - the forwarded mail was misssing the CC: and only had BCC: field filled in - It had no propper sender field - mail headers were a mess Outlook claimed it forwarded the mails, but I sould deactivate forwarding - propably for my own safety. ISP rejected all further forwarded mails due to malformed headers - or maybe M$ did not forward them, but just claimed to.
So forwarding does not work any more. Nex plan: install evolution with evolution-ews. This almost worked, but 'cause there is 2FA active for the client and a passwordmanager on M$ desktop ("certified app" ... gotta be great, no?) is installed that is not capable to handle M$ 2FS requests, M$ 2FA does not offer SMS --> no way to get a token. Talking of hunting accidents where hunters tend to shoot themselfs from from behind and blame it on the bore.
Anyway, entertainment is guaranteed on this treacherouse journey to M$ oauth2.
Sort of works - but will be deleted once I retire :)
Something to look forward too :)

In my case my employer blocked forwarding. apparently wants us to have to connect to Outlook specificaly every day to know if we got mail.
I guess I could install Outlook on my phone and get "notifications", but I won't do that (and my phone is not connected to the Internet normaly anyway).

It's a bad idea to mix business and personal apps anyway; if you have business apps installed on your personal phone your employer will want to control how it's used.

not sure about oauth2 but I tried "app passwords" for gmail and git-send-email using this guide (google "helpfully" moved some pages around but direct link still work)

At least patches arrived as cc in my inbox ... so *something* worked.
