[sylpheed:36768] Re: using sylpheed for OAuths2 Multi-factor authentication

[Kévin]

Hi there Globe Trotter,

Assuming that the organisation administrator allows IMAP/SMTP for their accounts, it's not an issue.  You'll need an application password to use to check your mail through Sylpheed.

It's fairly simple to set-up, have a look at the below instructions for Office 365 (it's also the same for Hotmail, etc) :

Kind regards,


Kévin Costelloe
