Hello, I'd like to ask if any of you succeeded with
using mutt with outlook365 server.

It used to be that you could just configure it to use the email address
and the password to do it. In the last month or so, Microsoft has moved to
something like OAUTH instead, removing the option of username/password.

You might be able to get it working if you look for solutions on how to
use OAUTH with mutt. That is of course assuming that Microsoft stuck to
the established standard on how to do such authentication.

The Mutt repository has a contrib Python script that is supposed to
enable Mutt to connect (also against Outlook) using OAUTH:

I'm not using it so can't say any further.
