.emacs.d VS oauth2ms

That's weird. I use package.el and it only ever updates when I ask it to.

The solution to this is too keep your elpa/ directory under version control.

I use this hacked-up script to help me do that: https://github.com/NateEag/.emacs.d/blob/master/site-lisp/up...

Funny, just dealt with the whole O365 authentication just this week. With moving to 2 factor authentication you need to use OAuth 2 to do anything with it. I have my (work) O365 email forwarded, so I do have normal IMAP access. I use isync/mbsync [1] to receive email, goimapnotify [2] to get pushed new email, read/reply/etc with mu4e [3] and org-msg [4] and org-mode, and until recently just plain SMTP to send mail. This last part will break with 2 factor, but found oauth2ms [5] to set up the OAuth to work with O365 SMTP. The trick was to find the "tenet ID" from the Azure page of your organization and to use Thunderbird's credentials [6] (or another mail program, since I can't make new app registrations on Azure to have my own "application"). That should also allow you to use IMAP with OAuth 2 as well, but haven't done that since I still have the forwarding. (As usual, I think the Arch Wiki [7] covers most of this too.)

I’ve been using this successfully for the last year: https://github.com/harishkrupo/oauth2ms

@harishkrupo has posted over on r/emacs and helpfully described in even more detail on github the steps to follow to get mbsync working with office365 and has written a python script that handles getting the token from the identity server and putting it into a format that mbsync can use. Crucially, he explains how to set up the azure app that the token is generated for. Really, this guide made a lot of things clear that I had been absolutely muddling through previously.

This works well: https://github.com/harishkrupo/oauth2ms Does require setting up an App in your Microsoft tenant (don’t know if it works across tenants)
