Re: [Evolution] OAuth2 for AOL IMAP mail

[Andrew Perrin <andrewperrin netscape net>]

Thank you for the quick and informative response! I am able to use the
app-specific password as a workaround.

In case it offers any clues on your end, Thunderbird successfully
connects via OAuth2 to the same account, so it must be technically
possible. If I can be helpful in making progress on this front please
let me know.

Thanks again
Andy
