Hello alpine community —

I returned from a week's vacation this morning, fired up alpine and have
been getting error messages that are unfamiliar to me.  Upon trying to open
my inbox, I get:
                                        
      [>Code 400: invalid_grant: AADSTS70043: The refresh token has expired
or is invalid due to sign-in frequenc<]

Dear Brad,

the issue is that the refresh token was revoked by the server. Who knows why that happen. It was an internal policy. Tokens can be revoked for several reasons, including, but not limited to, expiration: The refresh token has outlived its validity; change in account settings: for example, change in the password; confirmation of account settings: checking that your information is up-to-date. Apparently you hit another one: not loging into your account for a week.

When this happens simply try to reopen your INBOX. For example, if the error happens when you are opening Alpine, a failure to open your inbox will put you in a screen from where you need to navigate to your INBOX and then try to open int again. This time Alpine will display the screen to grant authorization to Alpine and create the refresh token that you can use in the future.

And when trying to send a mail, I get the similar error:

      [>Error sending: Code 400: invalid_grant: AADSTS70043: The refresh
token has expired or is invali<]

The refresh token that is used to login to your inbox is the same that is used to login to your smtp server. Revocation of the refresh token will prevent you from reading your inbox and sending email. It is an "all or none" scheme.

I hope this helps.
