Proposed

Hi,

We use Thunderbird and wonder if we should or can use the OAuth2 authentication setting with our Mailbox.org account ?

OAuth2-authentication for imap and smtp would improve security grealy. I would like to use my mailaccount to send log files from services with a key instead of a password.

I cannot edit my comment from above, so I leave a new reply.

For me a suitable alternative would be to use app passwords: multiple passwords (separate from the main account password), useful by configuration for one or multiple protocols. e.g.: one password use smtp for sending log files, a password for smtp, imap, card- and caldav, a webdav only password and a pop3 only password. Or any combination you can think of.

Don't know what I was thinking; standard oauth2 would be much more preferable to non oauth2.

Seems like somethings happening, without any result so far: https://userforum-en.mailbox.org/topic/1556-2fa-for-business

Can't wait for this to happen.
