What the devil are those? And will Mail app have them?

 You could try following Microsoft's instructions:

It's all a question of using OAuth2 authentication.
I hope iOS Mail will incorporate this.
Thunderbird under Windows does. I won't have to delete the account and reset it up there. I just change to OAuth2. A good guide for Apple to follow.
