--- Comment #13 from zocker.network at gmail.com ---
I just want to add that this bug will also affect Microsoft Personal users in
the near future as Microsoft will disable Basic Authentication for personal
users on 2024-09-16 (source:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/modern-authentication-methods-now-needed-to-continue-syncing-outlook-email-in-non-microsoft-email-apps-c5d65390-9676-4763-b41f-d7986499a90d).
As far as I know & experimented so far, personal users cannot use the EWS
protocol (& have no admin they can ask for enabling it), which makes that even
more bad.

But, I can slightly understand why enabling XOAUTH2 for Microsoft Office 365 /
Personal as well might be not as simple as it may seem, because KMail will then
also need hard-coded settings for Microsoft’s OAuth2 endpoints, which includes
a per-application secret (which feels ridiculous as they can easily be
extracted, especially in the case of open-source software).
