Hello,

I am currently trying to connect my Dovecot mail server to Microsoft's Azure-AD and use it as password and user database. I am using version 2.3.7.1.

Using the Azure-AD as passdb already works. In this context I noticed that the scope implementation is not yet merged.

Since I haven't found any hints for an OAuth2 userdb implementation yet, I wanted to ask if there are any plans for an implementation.

Greetings

Dovecot 2.3 supports oauth2. I don't know how "oauth2 user database" would work, since oauth2 is an authentication mechanism. I suggest you use LDAP or static userdb, or set mail_* settings for user settings.
