Email OAuth 2.0 Proxy transparently adds OAuth 2.0 support to applications that only support traditional IMAP/POP/SMTP protocols. It intercepts these requests and establishes a secure OAuth 2.0 connection with the email provider. This allows legacy clients and scripts to work with modern email services, such as Gmail, Outlook, and Office 365, without requiring code changes. The proxy works in the background and requires minimal configuration, acting as a local intermediary between the email client and the provider.
