Welcome to the mailbox.org user forum!
Will Mailbox.org implement app passwords someday?
Need Answer
A lot of modern email service providers have app specific passwords that can be created and revoked at any time.
This allows people to turn on 2FA on their account, and use app passwords to log into programs such as K9 Mail, Fairmail, Thunderbird, etc.
Will Mailbox.org be implementing this in the near future?
The same question 
I was wondering the same! According to help section 12.6 it's possible to do this, but the actual setting seems to be missing. I'm on the old 1-euro plan so maybe that's the reason?

Please!
Please!
This would be a very welcome addition to the service. I hope they are considering it.

+1 on this!
Like many, I let various 3rd party calendar apps use my CalDAV calendars. For this, I currently have to provide my full mailbox.org credentials.... this is not safe

It is a shame, that this feature is still not available.
Mailbox is warning in its blog about the current security issue, since it was made public that the new outlook from Microsoft is copying the login credentials of imap accounts into their cloud.
Unfortunately it is not app specific, so I can’t revoke it. Now I have to change it in all my clients.

I'd really appreciate this as I am currently using a cumbersome setup with a dummy GMail account, which has an app password (which you cannot login using), so that my VPS status emails are sent from the VPS to GMail, which forwards to my Mailbox.org account.
I'd prefer to be able to use a simple SMTP-only app password on the VPS, in case it ever gets hacked (not likely, but never say ...).

I cannot use MS Outlook anymore with my mailbox at mailbox.org and it seems this is due to the absence of app passwords. So please provide the feature asap.
