A few years ago I found a package that would proxy IMAP into an
Exchange server.
If I remember correctly it was called davmail.
It made some of the problems with a clients insistence on Exchange go
away.
Well, more exactly, Microsoft Exchange Server insists on authentication
being through XOAUTH2. The problem when they began insisting on that
was that there was no ready way to configure mutt to do that, and while
there might have been technical workarounds I didn't have the time to
figure them out, since I was already without email and couldn't afford
to miss any. So I found out that Thunderbird would work and threw that
on for the time being.
The time being is now many months later. Thunderbird seems okay if you
want a gui client for web-based email. I don't. I far prefer the use
of a console client (mutt) and to keep my email off the server and on my
main computer. I suppose I should see whether there is now some ready
solution for mutt, and then figure out how to migrate all the email
since switching out of Thunderbird and into my mutt archives -- but too
many battles at the moment getting hardware to work to take time out for
reconfiguring software.
If anyone knows a straightforward way to do either of these things (get
mutt to work with Exchange and migrate from Thunderbird to mutt) I would
be very pleased to hear about it!
