XOAuth 2 support

Open vatel opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

GMail and other mail services support (and highly recommend to use) XOAuth2 for authentication instead of passwords. Is it possible to implement it in IMAPClient?

Albeit full Microsoft Modern Authentication would probably require a whole additional library at the very least, and it's probably not an exact fit for this library anyway, in some sense. Also makes me wonder whether I should raise a separate issue for Microsoft Graph API support, which would seem more fitting to this library.
