Thank you Ray, that was helpful. I just found some small examples
calling these URLs. But if I let the user open some URL, how do I get
the result? Webbrowsers usually don't tell me the results of opening a
URL. I'm confused. Theremust be some API that I have to call for sure.
Until now, I only have email address, password and smtp mailserver. This
is provided by the user. The thing is, I should open some URL now. But
what URL is to be used for the token? Microsoft for sure uses other URLs
than Google and others. But the mailserver neither tells me the URL nor
do I get it from somewhere else? The user don't knows it either. Maybe
it is derived from the domain part of the email address? Is there a
standard RFC that I can refer to for learning this?
Since January Office365 basically forbids the use of simple password
authentication for most things.

However it looks like there is an exception for SMTP so it must be a
tenant or user setting requiring this in your case rather than a
microsoft one.
You basically need to implement an OIDC login (which you could do using
curl but unless you really know what you are doing using an existing
library is recommended) You also need to read the microsoft
documentation because a very large part of the setup is registering your
application as a client. As you said you were running on windows using
the microsoft authentication libraries to obtain an OAUTH token might be
the easiest route.
All of this is really off topic for curl however.

Thank you very much Stephen. Sadly, I developed the software using PureBasic
and so the .NET and JAVA libraries of Microsoft do not work for me. I think I
have to implement it using libcurl on myself. But I know that Google and others
also use that sort of authentication. Upon this, there must be some generic
documentation about what and how to obtain such tokens, right? Does anybody
know where to get this so I can learn for a generic implementation that maybe
also works on Linux later?
I already searched GitHub for code (I'm good in reading go and php code, too),
but it is mainly implementation of supporting some OAuth 2.0 Bearer Access
Token but not about obtaining and using the needed tokens.
But I also agree, that this seems to be a question out of scope for libcurl.
Thanks anyway!
