I switched from Apple's mail.app to MailMate, except for my uni accounts because ANU IT has in their wisdom:
- blocked all apps from OAuth2 except those they bless.
- Not blessed MailMate
- Blocked external forwarding
- Blocked all other authentication mechanisms.
So now I'm in the awkward situation of using one mail client for everything except work emails and another, much worse client for work.

Now, I notice that Thunderbird is blessed... now I'm not suggesting I do this.. but it should be possible to run Thunderbird headlessly on some aws machine and then run an IMAP server from its mailbox..

@christianp I guess? I think Thunderbird has a Office 365 OAuth access token that it can use. Probably the completely open source release doesn't have this.

@liamoc @christianp I have previously built a fork of thunderbird from source code and it can use ANU email. It is called betterbird. I think thunderbird built from source code can probably also use ANU email
