Do not know much about #oauth2 but I wonder if I could extract from #Thunderbird the login certificate and re-use that in #aerc?

@wamserma the most convenient way to get the token is https://github.com/lclevy/firepwd

@wamserma i give up for the time being and continue from this some day. without going to details got somewhere but still something is glitching :-)

for #thunderbird it would be a nice addon/feature if it could play the role of IMAP/SMTP server itself. and at the same time sort of "corporate safe" way to access. and (almost) zeroconf

@jarkko is that about (corporate) Gmail? Apparently even with external sso you can then enable 2fa in the Google workspace (and it doesn't do anything due to the sso) and then you can generate app specific passwords.

@vbabka it is corporate 365 with all sorts of things blocked that usually work. No app passwords, no EWS, apparently they check client ID/password for TB because e.g. Evolution does not work.

@vbabka do no get threat scenario but this is luckily quite functional extension for TB to write emails: https://github.com/Frederick888/external-editor-revived. There's external program in addition to extension but it is easy to setup. If you launch it without parameters it will tell you where to place a simple js file, of which contents it also outputs and after that TB takes care of launching it when it needs it

With email the threat scenario is mostly emails themselves and I cannot 100% guarantee that I do not fall on phishing unless I use text based email client :-)
