Multiple enterprise customers use my software (https://emailengine.app https://emailengine.app) because it can proxy OAuth2-enabled IMAP/SMTP connections as regular password-based sessions. Turns out there are a lot of legacy, like all kinds of cron scripts, that want to connect to some IMAP account to check and do something. It all breaks down once the organisation enforces OAuth for their email. So, personally, I don't like it at all, but as a software developer, I'm really happy about it. Helps with my sales effort :P
- trws 3y agoOh that’s pretty cool, thanks for the link. I’ve used davmail as a proxy like this, just for the oauth support, but it doesn’t scale to large mailboxes or high traffic well at all. May forward this along for some of our internal services people.
- sir 3y agoYou can also use this (locally-hosted) proxy of mine which transparently adds OAuth 2.0 support to any IMAP/POP/SMTP client: https://github.com/simonrob/email-oauth2-proxy https://github.com/simonrob/email-oauth2-proxy.
