Unfortunately gmail / outlook although on different time tables will force oauth2 shortly without end users being able to avoid this.

Thus outlook protocol will not really be an option.

I have researched this with python and alike.

right now there does not seem to be any turn key soultions in python or fetchmail (i use fetchmail for my older customers)

there seems to be lib's around to handle to oauth2 protocols but not much doc's on how to use them?


simply put from my research to date is oauth2 does the following

1. you try to connect to the mail server

2. it stops (unless you already have a device id key) and redirects to a website link for a key

3. once on the website you need to say yes to some kind of auth (trying to accomodate with http libs)

4. the website returns the key (which you probably should save)

5. from there (thus far research to date) normal python libs will handle emails thereafter as before.

other option is like with google where you need to signup for a developer account (or something) that will generate a key for your account & device at which point other emails to that, only good for 15 devices ??

after that you have to pay?

just a heads up, other non-main stream providers (like myself) have other devices in place for security and will not force customers to migrate, maybe look for a local provider?

I will eventually handle oauth2 etc but only when forced to (government contracts etc)

My suggestion (if you are in unix) is to start up a postfix / dovecot email server instance where you are in control of the protocol's used? this way your in complete control of your emails in both directions. Its a bit of work but leaving things to the main stream providers isn't







Happy Monday !!!
