I've been asked this privately a couple of times, but I don't use this
platform.

My guess is that the procedure will be similar if it is really XOAUTH2 and
not some proprietary variant.


I'd go through http://www.bytereef.org/howto/oauth2/getmail.html and determine
exactly at which step you fail.


Figuring this out for GMail required an extraordinary amout of searching;
especially finding the crucial step how to obtain the initial client id
and secret took a long time.
