Re: [Evolution] Evolution Mail and Office365 MFA

[Michael Piko <michael piko com au>]

I am certainly no expert but I did manage to get O365 working. To get
the tenant ID, I followed the instructions here:
https://blog.quadrotech-it.com/blog/get-your-office-365-tenant-id-in-one-simple-step/

So, go to:
https://login.windows.net/yourcompany.onmicrosoft.com/.well-known/openid-configuration
    replacing yourcompany with company's domain name IE: abc.com.au
https://login.windows.net/abc.com.au.onmicrosoft.com/.well-known/openid-configuration

and look for "authorization_endpoint":https://.....etc.
IE: "authorization_endpoint":
https://login.windows.net/b9239bdf-2e69-43c0-b8a3-dd058093cdf0/oauth2/authorize

which tells us that the tenant id is: b9239bdf-2e69-43c0-b8a3-
dd058093cdf0


Then, for the Application ID, I found:
The application ID refers to the application conecting to exchange. IE:
the ID specifically for GNOME Evolution EWS.

GNOME Evolution EWS: 751cf8be-ca07-484b-9308-fac4b9d85eff 
GNOME Evoluation: 20460e5d-ce91-49af-a3a5-70b6be7486d1

That worked for me.
