I had to stop around the time of 2fa, as well. Hoped there was a way around that by now. (Well, not around, but with.)
2FA in what context? App passwords, XOAUTH2, Kerberos pre-auth...? OTP or FIDO? You should be able to work with them anyway.
"advanced security". It doesn't allow app passwords. At least, that used to be the case. Using security keys.
I assume that's oauth2 (which xoauth2 implies). It works for me with O365 and a Duo key for multiple clients.
Thanks for the pointer! I'll have to see if I can get that working. Last I looked at this stuff, I didn't understand oauth as well as I do now. (Which, I'm sure is still not perfect. Is an improvement, though.)
Edit: Am I correct that I have to basically make my own app in order to do this? (Ok if the case, just making sure I'm not looking in the wrong direction.)
I think you're meant to make your own app, but I don't have permission anyway. Some applications have their own tenant id (?) and you can copy, e.g. davmail's from ~/.davmail.properties, or even copy the token you get from it to use with something else.

I still use mu4e with gmail, offlineimap will work if you make an “app password” in gmail for it.
Sending mail works with that same app password and smpt.gmail.com, I use that to send email from systemd using msmtp as well.
It’s pretty reliable, but if you change your gmail password it revokes your app passwords. Only downtime I had was I simply didn’t know that, easy fix.
I don't know about Outlook and others, but you can still use any client you want, both for IMAP and SMTP access, using application passwords[1]. I have been doing that for years, both for Gmail and Google Workspace, without any issue.

Thanks, that looks like a good solution.
Is there an option for the folks on the security that disables app passwords?

I can relate to this, I'm yet to find a way to connect my $CURRENT_JOB Office 365 to Gnus...
> Anyway, what email providers do people use today?
I personally use mailbox.org and never had a problem with SMTP.
Fastmail works very well for me - for many years. Never a problem, great support.
If you need an IMAP/SMTP gateway to O365/Exchange, at least, try https://davmail.sourceforge.net/
Anyway, what email providers do people use today? One I found with SMTP support tends to be directed to spambox by Gmail.
