    Any word if progress has been made on creating a fix for the email basic authentication deprecation by Microsoft?

    Clients hosted by Viewpoint can use Azure SSO/MFA.

    To get around this issue, use APP Passwords for just email. It's not super easy to setup, but if you must have access and 2FA is required, then this is an alternative. Adding support for 2FA within Spectrum will not be an easy solution since they have to work with many different vendors to enable support on specific platforms.
