cyrus-sasl-xoauth2

This is a plugin implementation of XOAUTH2.

FYI: if you are forced to use XOAUTH2-enabled SMTP / IMAP servers by your employer and want to keep using your favorite *nix MUA locally, the following detailed document should help a lot: http://mmogilvi.users.sourceforge.net/software/oauthbearer.html (DISCLAIMER: in contrast to the document's author, I'd rather read and write emails on my browser a lot. I haven't tested it personally)
