Sorry about even mentioning such horrors as MS-365 and Chrome and Google
WorkSpace and  Oauth2, but
I HAVE to use them for work, unfortunately.
All I want is to be able to Send & Read Email with Emacs & MA-GNUS & Linux
mailx / sendmail,
 that is all I am asking about .
MS-365's Outlook IMAP stopped working because it won't support OAuth2 , but
its SMTP2 works with encrypted password & sendmail config patches ;
Neither Google's IMAP nor its SMTP2 work for non-WorkSpace accounts, for
WorkSpace accounts, SMTP2 with password works until Sept 2024 -
this is what I am trying to handle.
I'd prefer to be able to continue reading & sending email with MA-GNUS &
Emacs, but Google & MS-365 make it ever more difficult.
If I have to support Oauth2 in Emacs, then I'd like to use a single daemon
and Oauth2 proxy for all of Emacs, Chrome, and Firefox,
all of which I MUST use , since only google-chrome-unstable allows me to
ScreenShare with Teams and Firefox Developer Edition is
better for Outlook (doesn't crash) . I am investigating Keycloak , an open
source Oauth2 server ... anyone got Emacs to use an Oauth2 Proxy ?
 Best Regards,
Jason
