Description

Starting with JavaMail 1.5.5, support for OAuth2 authentication is built-in and no longer requires SASL (although the SASL OAuth2 support continues to work).

https://java.net/projects/javamail/pages/OAuth2

It would be great if commons email could provide an API to support OAuth2 authentification.

The following code should be integrated in Email.getMailSession:

if (isOAuth2Authentication()) {
  props.put("mail.smtp.auth.mechanisms", "XOAUTH2");
}

Or a generic solution:

if (this.authMechanisms != null) {
  props.put("mail.smtp.auth.mechanisms", this.authMechanisms);
}
