At past jobs I've always used mutt for internal email, but currently I'm at a company that uses Office 365 and will not enable IMAP on that service. Reading between the lines (the IT department is not very open), and based on some searches for information on the web, I strongly suspect this is because Office 365 + Okta, which we use for SSO, doesn't work well with IMAP. I'd still like to find some way to use mutt rather than rely on the horrible Outlook clients.
Has anyone here found a workaround for this? Maybe you know of a way to actually enable IMAP and still require some short-lived token that can only be obtained from Okta? Something I could suggest to our IT department? Or maybe there's some way to wire up some proxy that can fetch using Exchange protocol, and is Okta-aware, and can leave the mail it fetches in local maildir or mbox? Or anything else, I'm just vaguely brainstorming. (<y local machine is a MacBook, if that affects things) -- Cos
