Upgrade App to using "Modern Auth"?

[Mattray50]

Is there any chance that you are going to update this to be able to use "Modern Authentication" in the near future? I have all my email accounts in MS Office365 and they have shut down Basic Auth and for a very good reason (Hackers). I believe GMail will also soon disable Basic Auth as well.

I think this is a great app and would love to see it to stay safe and secure in the future.

Do you have any links to documentation on this?

Hi Chris, Here is a link for Microsofts announcement. https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/exchange-team-blog/basic-authentication-deprecation-in-exchange-online-september/ba-p/3609437https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/exchange-team-blog/basic-authentication-deprecation-in-exchange-online-september/ba-p/3609437 And one from Google. https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255 I believe Google will still allow “App Passwords” but not sure for how long.

The changes outlined by Microsoft have nothing to do with IMAP, and google has no plans to retire App Passwords.

My Gmail is showing this:
Less secure app access
Some apps and devices use less secure sign-in technology, which makes your account vulnerable. You can turn off access for these apps, which we recommend, or turn it on if you want to use them despite the risks. Google will automatically turn this setting OFF if it’s not being used.
This setting is no longer available.

Any ideas how to get it to work?

If you can't create app passwords at this time, you'll need to wait for oauth support.

You can get basic auth re-enabled until the end of the year on MS Exchange:

So do we have an OAuth version in the works? Google won't let you have "less secure apps" enabled AND two factor support, which is required for App Passwords. So it's a no go here

Still a WIP

Some progress

@firstof9 Thanks for your work on this. Any more progress since your comment? I'd be happy to test out a dev branch.

[firstof9]

Not at this time.

[baf]

Okay; thanks. I'll keep a subscription to this topic in case any are forthcoming.

Hey together, is there any progress? I would like to use a mailbox of office365.

[firstof9]

It's proving more difficult than anticipated, sadly.

[BMWfan]

mh, what do you think when we could count with it?

[firstof9]

As my free time as of late has dwindled, I couldn't say when.

[BMWfan]

clear, i understand that. If i can help by doing some test or so, pls let me know.
