Re: MS Deprecation Basic Authentication

[William Horka <whorka () HMDC HARVARD EDU>]

Apple Mail can support O365/Exchange multi-factor auth.

https://harvard.service-now.com/ithelp/?id=kb_article&sys_id=435bb7291b2dfb8cefd8a79b2d4bcb55

This might require that OAuth2 support be enabled in the O365/Exchange 
configuration.
