[Users] Microsoft Live (hotmail) oauth2 authentication always fails

[David Fletcher]

Hi Ettore,

Try running claws from a terminal with debug output, that should show
what's happening. From version 4.2 on Mac I get the code below (note I
had no ClientID configured for Outlook here as I don't use it on this
computer - I terminated the authorisation process without completing it
but you can see the relevant parts about the listener). Your findings on
Linux should be similar and show each stage of the listener process so
we can see what's wrong. Post back what you get.
