I wouldn't trust static app passwords, nor would I trust our security
group if they allowed it, but I'm pretty sure they don't.

In the past, I did use that python script for mutt with oauth, but
that was years ago at a job where oauth was used for internal single
sign-on generally.  Haven't tried integrating that approach with okta.

Do you know of any guides online that outline how to do that?
