As Steffen notes, it looks like the article says basic authentication is being discontinued, not IMAP. In theory, Mutt already has OAUTHBEARER support: see <http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/#oauth>, but we do rely on an external script.
If such a script is available for Exchange, or becomes available, please let me know and I'll be glad to reference it in the documentation.
In particular, do you plan to implement MAPI over HTTP?
To be honest, this isn't on my roadmap. I don't seen enough benefit for the effort that would be required.
I wonder whether they won't adapt the new, standardized JMAP protocol, which will finally cover much more than just "I"MAP, but also calenders etc. And if it is for interoperability, and maybe the possibility to use open source software instead of putting development power into their own stuff. I think JMAP is the future, and i would almost bet: also for Microsoft.
I've been aware of JMAP for a while, but haven't taken a serious look at it yet. Is usage becoming widespread outside of Fastmail yet?
