CentOS - Oct 2022 - Microsoft deprecation of basic authentication centos 7

Hi All

I have a server out there running centos 7.
I installed fetchmail to monitor an email inbox - has worked for years.
Microsoft deprecated basic authentication so fetchmail is not working any
more.

Anyone else run into this ?
fetchmail 6 does not support oauth.

Any thoughts on how to update - get this working again ?
its nearly impossible  to change the OS - as the box is not local to me.

Thanks!

Jerry

Try the open source CalDav/WebDav.......it will run as a local gateway
software that will do the dirty work of connecting to exchange/outlook
servers.

Trust me, I loathe anything microsoft, ugh.

But, it works.

Use getmail instead.

A quick search brought up

Microsoft is accepting short-term enforcement delays (until Dec 31 if I recall)
if your company will submit the request.

Consider looking at a generic proxy like
https://github.com/simonrob/email-oauth2-proxy

I tried it on EL8, but had troubles getting the GUI to appear in the systray
unless until in my python virtenv I added:

 ? pip install PyGObject # also installs pycairo

Worked for me with Thunderbird -- we can't use built-in OAUTH2 due to
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1685414

Good luck!

this is very interesting...
I did the following:
yum install python3
downloaded teh above
yum install python3-pip
pip-3 install --upgrade pip
ran the requirements - it install crypto and stuff.
change the config file to be for my office 365 account

run python3 emailproxy.py -no-gui   (also tried --debug --debug)

And nothing really happens - prints a couple lines - about starting IMAP
POP SMTP but nothing about
trying to connect - no errors - no nothing.

My config has:

[IMAP-1993]
local_address = localhost
server_address = outlook.office365.com
server_port = 993

[POP-1995]
server_address = outlook.office365.com
server_port = 995

[SMTP-1587]
server_address = smtp.office365.com
server_port = 587
starttls = True


[xyz at abc]
permission_url https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/authorize
token_url = https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/token
oauth2_scope = https://outlook.office365.com/IMAP.AccessAsUser.All
https://outlook.office365.com/POP.AccessAsUser.All
https://outlook.office365.com/SMTP.Send offline_access
redirect_uri = http://localhost
client_id = xyz at abc
client_secret = old_secret

The @abc is not office365.com its the email address hosted by office365.

What did I miss?
