O365Interactive or O365Manual using terminal

[floatious]

Hello Mickaël,

Thank you very much for your work on davmail.
I use it daily.

I usually start davmail in the terminal.

The problem is when my outlook login session times out, and I am not at home.

It would be really nice if you could print the login URL on the stdout in the console,
and then read the URL/token after login on stdin.

If not by default, perhaps you could add an option for this.

Then when I am connected via SSH, I could simply restart davmail and get the new token using the browser,
and simply paste the URL/token in the console.

@floatious : I would find this useful as well. I'd be happy if the login URL would just be printed to the log file.

I think there is a way of doing at least O365Manual completely from a terminal, but it's not exactly universal. I haven't done it myself (for the reason given later), but I know the first step is to set (in your davmail.properties file) davmail.oauth.tokenFilePath to a separate file in which to store the token. Then you run some script to update the token in the token file, but the script created by @mguessan for doing that is Windows-only. You can find it at https://github.com/mguessan/o365psauth. I would like to think it should be possible to convert that to something that would run on Linux and Mac, but I haven't looked into it and maybe not with the Windows .dll it uses.

@floatious : Oh, I forgot about issue #338. Please read that relevant issue. I think you need to start DavMail with the -token argument. I've never attempted this myself, so I might be misunderstanding how it works. If what I'm reading there is correct, you don't need to use https://github.com/mguessan/o365psauth anymore. Executing DavMail with the -token argument on a regular basis should be sufficient. Make sure you also have the property davmail.oauth.persistToken=true set.

Note: I think you need to be using DavMail 6.2.2 for this.
