Is there a link (Microsoft side) on the autnentication mechanism used for
POP and for SMTP ? At least when activating OAuth2 ?
So far, I have "basic authentication" on POP3 (User/Pass) and LOGIN for
SMTP.

I've set up the M365 part according to Claws'FAQ, so I can go in the Azure
setup and get the ClientID and all the parameters that are needed when
configuring OAuth2 in Claws, but nothing's done in Claws yet.

My previous attempts were unsuccessful, but since, several patches have
been published, so I hope this time I'll be more lucky ;)

Best,
