DM: Hi, Claudio. Based on my previous experience, you need to use the
entire URL, not just the code within it (I'm assuming the Claws code
sorts out whatever needs to be sorted out.). So, that's what I would
advise you to try next. In case it's helpful to have as a sample, here
is what my authorization code looks like:

https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/nativeclient#code=0.AXYAcgknWN_LDUKBX-TWumVbt9rtn807y1VMrdGNE9hD8ZQzAAA.AQABAAIAAAD--DLA3VO7QrddgJg7WevrjtHKrXL6FGHhJ9L6CUhQbyFPxwtRYoc2Gfpa8XxaCUByWbobjFkF-z80A4V4GYDQHT8QTeIvK71aKwwqVvx3-0ItVatoeaFSPs8MJtQY_T9iuNHcFRore7tYlQcztGjWCCrCv5yF5qZ5NeCuzMTA7vn1RMDr8jpg_PgV2YDiiooE6tcV_fBfyPi3szdYoE-ThA1WwhHsMGxx2qjtES4ZUvpLfRksGU09Qs8Rgg-mkRLh__M0tr-tCMBmQA0OSkcvqjSCQ089w9rIcnwOhyyUyqK6wcYYmdGFj6x3lOHZodaRuwKsZIp_r0jvZjREo5hsHJPDuHBGusi4RPmX3tA_fO2EpUJmOygQzu4KpvSqde3uxAUcuPi2ATaYu5XOh_bT_jMn7xZVMtYB6PWHAdSH5pnxkSnUgvPqdbY7CDhxYrepOKlFZUlOkcGtJA52O7AE_6763Wmf0zzKIxtx7H8nOgiSi4SuDWVJF-PkJNJQy96sZQpxMvPrUW29-Lwaa6AL_UsSVPmKSV7SnRE81Q9K1Fmp5tcci_6luTHVYIfiLY6cAkGKZeWSTExtL-mYfX5r8MOF8TNYT9ClfX33cx6PuElhYZV-gvPqOQivHm-wmuGsNDzUtN0SxHLz7aChm8ZYinbaLYaKY6lbvc3ZU-aNC9p3VMkhX-Ye4exJGeUhO2NvacGb7myDLuWdIf98hAia9U1wecDnsrcaOKnTp18oXCAA&session_state=eb962d9b-86ae-4020-90a3-1a65dda4a479

DM: This has been working okay for me for awhile, aside from a few
non-fatal errors that have only recently started popping up everyone
once in awhile, but I'm not sure if those are even related to this.
