        Hi,
there seem to be more and more services switching to/using OAuth(2),
being it for example Yahoo!, Google and now also Office365. The only
OAuth2 implementation directly in the evolution is for Google
currently. GNOME Online Accounts can do more, but I do not think they
support it for EWS (I do not know for sure). There would still be
required other changes on the evolution-ews side, to advertise proper
authentication method in the headers when talking to the server.

It's still doable, the Google OAuth2 implementation is the proof, but
it looks harder for the Office365. I didn't read the links you gave
thoroughly, thus it needs more investigation. One thing is that I do
not have any test account on the Office365, neither with the two-factor 
authentication enabled, thus it's even harder to do anything with it.

We can start with a bug filling at:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=evolution-ews&version=3.23.x&short_desc=Support%20OAuth%20authentication
but more coordination would be required to move it anywhere close
to the resolution.
        Bye,
