Abstract
This document defines a lightweight and interoperable profile for configuring OAuth 2.0 authentication in mail clients using a small number of manually entered parameters. The profile targets public clients using PKCE and discovery endpoints, avoiding the need for dynamic client registration or hardcoded provider logic. The goal is to make secure OAuth 2.0-based authentication for IMAP/SMTP universally deployable and user-configurable.
