You work with multiple services or applications that use IMAP/POP/SMTP, and you don't want to have to set up OAuth 2.0 independently for each one.You have made your own script or application that sends or receives email, but it doesn't support OAuth 2.0, and you don't want to have to modify it to implement this.You can edit the server details, but the client forces you to delete and re-add the account to enable OAuth 2.0, and you don't want to do this. You have an account already set up in an email client, and you need to switch it to OAuth 2.0 authentication.

You need to use an Office 365 email account, but don't get on with Outlook.The proxy works in the background with a menu bar/taskbar helper or as a system service, and is compatible with macOS, Windows and Linux. Your email client can continue to use the login or auth/ authenticate options, with no need to make it aware of OAuth's existence. This script creates a simple local proxy that intercepts the traditional IMAP/POP/SMTP authentication commands and transparently replaces them with the appropriate SASL (X)OAuth 2.0 commands and credentials. Motivation and capabilitiesĮmail services that support IMAP, POP and/or SMTP access are increasingly requiring the use of OAuth 2.0 to authenticate connections, but not all clients support this method. Transparently add OAuth 2.0 support to IMAP/POP/SMTP client applications, scripts or any other email use-cases that don't support this authentication method.
