actually that has nothing to do with imap. Imap supports even OAuth2 Authentication trough sasl and the oauth2 authentication for imap will be more and more of an standard, it just sucks that most providers don't support a few things that makes it easier, like dynamic clients, etc.
- Tijdreiziger 4y agoI don't even want to use 'plain' IMAP authentication, because it doesn't support 2FA.
- Avamander 4y agoThis amongst other similar reasons is why large providers also don't want to allow plain IMAP authentication. Too easy to abuse and too disruptive to curtail.
