I was wondering what the status is for Okta support in MailMate? Is
this something that you are working (or plan on working) on, or is it
something that you'd like/need some community support/help getting
done?
It's not something I'm working on, but if we can figure out how it's
supposed to work then I'm willing to look into it. If I understand
correctly, Okta isn't just Okta. Okta is used together with some
existing service/company and MailMate would need to be registered with
each of these services/companies to work with each one. Or more
specifically, MailMate would need to be registered with a particular
service/company to work with the use of Okta at that service/company. As
previously mentioned MailMate is hardcoded to work with Gmail and
outlook.com for which I've registered MailMate myself. In order to test
a solution for an Okta-using IMAP/SMTP server I would need MailMate to
be registered such that it has a `client_id` as described on [this
page](https://developer.okta.com/authentication-guide/implementing-authentication/auth-code-pkce).
Given that I could look into how similar the OAuth2-flow is compared to
Gmail/Outlook (a quick look tells me that some things are different).
If it works then I could then look into making it possible for the user
to provide the `client_id` (and various settings) instead of having it
hardcoded into MailMate as done for Gmail/Outlook.
I hope that makes sense :)

Well, MailMate has OAuth2 support for Gmail and `outlook.com`
addresses. Part of OAuth2 is that the email client needs to be
registered with the email service used. This is currently hardcoded
into MailMate, but that could be changed. It still requires IMAP
access to be available though.
For the record, I believe Okta OAuth2 support for desktop apps is
described
[here](https://developer.okta.com/authentication-guide/implementing-authentication/auth-code-pkce).
Although I haven't checked in detail it's probably close to what I do
for Gmail/Outlook, but I don't think it's exactly the same.
