Apple mail oauth support

Apple Mail does not natively support OAuth 2.0 for authentication. However, there are a few workarounds and third-party solutions that can help you use OAuth 2.0 with Apple Mail:

  1. OAuth2Mail: This is a third-party plugin that adds OAuth 2.0 support to Apple Mail. You can download and install the plugin from the developer's website.
  2. MailMate: This is a third-party email client for macOS that supports OAuth 2.0 authentication. You can use MailMate as an alternative to Apple Mail.
  3. Gmail OAuth 2.0 plugin: This is a third-party plugin specifically designed for Gmail accounts that use OAuth 2.0 authentication. You can download and install the plugin from the developer's website.
  4. Custom script: You can create a custom script using AppleScript or Automator to automate the OAuth 2.0 authentication process. This requires some programming knowledge and may not be suitable for all users.

To use OAuth 2.0 with Apple Mail, you'll need to:

  1. Enable OAuth 2.0 for your email account (e.g., Google, Microsoft, or Yahoo).
  2. Generate an OAuth 2.0 client ID and secret.
  3. Configure your email account settings in Apple Mail to use the OAuth 2.0 credentials.
  4. Use a third-party plugin or script to handle the OAuth 2.0 authentication process.

Keep in mind that OAuth 2.0 support in Apple Mail is limited, and you may encounter issues or limitations when using this authentication method.
