Thank you. I think that thread is different in that it appears to be asking 
from where the client secret is. The suggested solution on that thread appears 
to be to use one of the three options in 
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/wikis/EWS-OAuth2#available-application-id
 with mutt_oauth2.py. None of these work for me. 

What I am asking here is if it is possible to use the tokens in the gnome 
keyring obtained using evolution for these other MUAs. I am wondering if these 
acquired tokens work, and where they should be put in mutt, for instance.

Thank you again!
