        Hi,

I see, that's a specific use case. You did not mention Davmail, but it

provides its own IMAP interface, it uses EWS under the hood.

You can open Edit->Accounts->EWS account name->Edit and turn off parts

you do not want to use, the same as you do that in the GNOME Online

Accounts.

With respect of the OAuth2 for IMAP, there is a builtin OAuth2 service

proving this for *.outlook.com servers. You can change the client id

and client secret for it in DConf /org/gnome/evolution-data-server ,

keys oauth2-outlook-client-id and oauth2-outlook-client-secret, but

there exists one predefined. To make it use for your IMAP server (I'm

wondering which one it is, maybe it can be added to the list of

accepted servers, thus it would work out of the box, in which case I'd

need a bug report against evolution-data-server [1]), you add a hint

into an oauth2-services-hint key, I guess something like:

   Outlook:mail.server.com

may do it (the 'Outlook' here is the name of the OAuth2 service known

to the evolution-data-server).

        Bye,

Thanks for the info.

I forgot to mention that I did try davmail (had used it many years ago) and that failed as well. I'll look into what you said when I get a chance.
