Calling o365 Devs - Oauth2- How do I create an application that allows POP3 / IMAP to auth ?

Question is simple. How does a non-dev person setup an app in AAD to get legacy POP3 / IMAP working again ?
They are blocking apps that use basic Auth this month and this has been on the cards for a couple of years.

If the developer of your app hasn't implemented an oauth option yet you're a bit stuck. The only workaround I can think of for a non dev would be to forward or route the Microsoft mailbox to a mailbox on a platform that allows pop or IMAP with basic Auth and point your app to fetch from there.

According to Microsoft this is the absolute last final final date for basic Auth but having said that, I did read something that suggests you may be able to enable it selectively for a little longer in the m365 admin portal.

EDIT: You could try this Email OAuth Proxy https://github.com/simonrob/email-oauth2-proxy

It only occurred to me as I wrote this post to Google if someone had done something like this.
