Sorry for resurrecting this thread, but for unrelated reasons, I was doing some OAuth2 research and stumbled onto this bug.

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=849540

Apparently Thunderbird supports OAuth2 now, so if IceOwl doesn't, it must be lagging behind by a little bit.

Claws has an open bug for this issue:

I've used thunderbird for years and I dont remember changing the
security level for it - either my memory has faded or they just let me
carry on using it and set the security level for it.
