Andres Bohren
Hi All, OAuth 2 Authentication for POP and IMAP was announced already back in June 2022 at the Exchange Team Blog. Announcing OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials Flow support for POP and IMAP protocols in Exchange Online There is a pretty decent Step-by-step Guide here.

Authenticate an IMAP, POP or SMTP connection using OAuth As a personal Opinion: I don’t like this POP/IMAP approach.
