Sorry for resurrecting this thread, but for unrelated reasons, I was

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
