I encourage people that are interested in making OAUTH universally available for email protocols (without pre-registration) for all clients and servers to join/follow the MAILMAINT IETF working group: https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/mailmaint/about/ In particular, this document on OAUTH public profiles: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-jenkins-oauth-public/ There's also a second required autoconfig component, although the proposals currently posted are a bit outdated. (We are planning on moving forward with a much reduced version of https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mailmaint-autoconfig/ , although it generally is the concept being looked at). In short, in the (hopefully) very near future, you will be able to open a mail application, enter your email address as "setup", and then be presented with the auth screen of your local OAUTH provider. michael _______________________________________________ dovecot mailing list -- dovecot@dovecot.org To unsubscribe send an email to dovecot-le...@dovecot.org
