  • using with outlook365 email

    Hello, I'd like to ask if any of you succeeded with
    using mutt with outlook365 server.
    I found some tutorials on the web but none of it was working.
    Did you succeed with it and can recommend a good way to
    configure mutt with microsoft based email?
    Thanks in advance!

    It used to be that you could just configure it to use the email address
    and the password to do it. In the last month or so, Microsoft has moved to something like OAUTH instead, removing the option of username/password.

    You might be able to get it working if you look for solutions on how to
    use OAUTH with mutt. That is of course assuming that Microsoft stuck to
    the established standard on how to do such authentication.

    The Mutt repository has a contrib Python script that is supposed to
    enable Mutt to connect (also against Outlook) using OAUTH:

    I'm not using it so can't say any further.

    I have used it, and it did work,
    just for reference - I was using instructions from here: https://www.vanormondt.net/~peter/blog/2021-03-16-mutt-office365-mfa.html

    There is also a Merge Request pending with some improvements/updates for
    this script, might be worth checking out.

    Same here, though.
