Describe the solution you'd like Add extra option in authentication method drop down list to be able to set :

• client_id
• client_secret
• refresh token

Additional context https://github.com/google/gmail-oauth2-tools give some exemple on how it works

@ChristophWurst ?

This ticket is about email settings in Nextcloud, like for notifications.

I would also be very much in favor of this feature. More and more e-mail services only offer oauth2-identification (e.g. some Office365-environments).

I can't connect my Microsoft 365 e-mail account because Microsoft disables basic auth, and it's not possible to add an e-mail account through oauth. You can read more about it here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/clients-and-mobile-in-exchange-online/deprecation-of-basic-authentication-exchange-online It's also not possible to add a gmail account with extended security enabled. Support for these would be nice.

I think all users from office 365 and gmail are very much in favor of this feature. For most of them, it is already or it will soon be not possible anymore to use accounts from microsoft or google in their nextcloud platform. Very sad.

I would also like this - I'm scouting to use Nextcloud for a few projects but we used Office 365 so we can't pass our emails through into 1 place. Any help or work around would be great

Take a look at https://github.com/simonrob/email-oauth2-proxy or https://davmail.sourceforge.net/

As mentioned in the upstream, I ended up using Microsoft Graph API (not direct SMTP relay). If it can help, here is a gist : https://gist.github.com/nguyenk/15dd504dbcf7322807cb8f93371937d7.
