So, the dreaded day has come, and the IT-dept has enforced MFA for our
mail accounts.
Evolution Mail stopped working, more or less as expected.

The guide with tenant and app IDs is unfortunately unusable for me, as
the admins won't supply me with the needed IDs.

For all intents and purposes, currently Evolution is dead for me.
I've spent this morning with setting up Thunderbird and paid for the Owl
addon. IT lets me download the mail.
The calendar works so-so with Lightning and tbsync; I can see my own
personal calendar but not the shared ones I also need. I can possibly
tweak this with Davmail, but it's pretty hazy right now.
