When it became clear many major email providers were going to require OAuth for IMAP/POP/SMTP access, I was pretty frustrated that I’d have to stop using clients/scripts that didn’t support this method.

Rather than spending lots of effort on migration, or switching clients entirely, I made a local proxy so that any IMAP (or POP/SMTP) client can be used with a “modern” email provider, regardless of whether it supports OAuth 2.0 natively: https://github.com/simonrob/email-oauth2-proxy. No need for your client to know about OAuth at all.

This looks quite interesting. A few years back I needed (quickly) to find something like this, and at the time there seemed to be only Davmail (which I see your notes mention). I will be curious to see if this is an easier solution than Davmail (since I really just need the email imap/smtp part of oauth for Outlook).

Thank you, I'll be bookmarking this. OAuth is a plague for client-side automation.
