Hello list.

Is anybody using the oauth-helper.py with Microsoft?

For a test i activated all of my GMail, Yandex and Microsoft
accounts yesterday, and the OAuth password had to be renewed.
This worked flawlessly except for Microsoft, which failed

  OAuth 2.0 RFC 6749, 6.  Refreshing an Access Token

but wanted the non-automatic

  OAuth 2.0 RFC 6749, 4.1.1. Authorization Request

instead; i presume this is due to their "passwordless" stuff, of
which i know nothing.
This took some time (below) and was not finished.
This afternoon again, so it seems they now _always_ require an
authorization instead of only a normal refresh.  (After 3600
seconds.)  What a mess, what a burden.

I am in the process of extending oauth-helper.py so that this can
be automatized a bit (currently it fails hard because that
the standardized access token refresh is rejected is not on the
plan).

But .. furthermore.  Is anyone using such an OAuth token with
Microsoft successfully?  I am back where i was in the past, i can
login and work via IMAP, but i am not allowed to send mails via
SMTP!  I have changed nothing for the "s-mailx" application that
oauth-helper.py ships with, and my configuration is not changed
either, but IMAP works, SMTP does not.  I have re-verified the
settings in the Azure portal, but to no avail.

So the question -- can anyone send via Microsoft and SMTP and
OAuth with this little MUA?  Stephen?

Thank you, and Ciao!
