I'm working on that (see <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/balsa/-/issues/40>=
), but it's very complex with many pitfalls and points of failure, and as I=
 had too much =E2=80=9Creal life=E2=80=9D (i.e. for =E2=82=AC=E2=82=AC=E2=
=82=AC) work, everything has been delayed=E2=80=A6

I'll try to speed up the implementation!

BTW, OAuth2 is *not* more secure than the traditional methods (when the con=
nection to the server is TLS encrypted, of course), and there has been a lo=
t of criticism about the whole concept (e.g. see this post by one of the au=
thors <https://web.archive.org/web/20130116102852/http://hueniverse.com/201=
2/07/oauth-2-0-and-the-road-to-hell/>).

Best,
Albrecht.
