OAuth2 in Geary

OAuth2 is a new way to verify. Some email services, such as Outlook, forcibly need it (See this). But I didn’t see OAuth2 option in Geary, so I couldn’t add my Outlook account (I guess it’s the reason). Is it available in Geary? If not, is it possible to add this feature? :slight_smile:

It’s not possible to do this directly in Geary.

If you’re using GNOME, then you can use gnome-online-accounts in gnome-control-center (System Settings) and Geary will pick up the email configuration from there. If you’re not using GNOME, I would try Thunderbird or a different email client instead.

I’m using Xfce instead of GNOME. I tried to install gnome-online-accounts-gtk and add my Microsoft account and it was successful. I think maybe this is a way for every DE. Thanks :slight_smile:
