oAuth
In order to use oAuth you need to obtain an access token first.
Once you have the token, please proceed by setting the authentication to oauth and provide the access token as password:

'host' => 'some.host.tld',
'port' => 993,
'encryption' => 'ssl',
'validate_cert' => true,
'protocol' => 'imap',
'username' => 'username@host.tld',
'password' => 'ACCESS-TOKEN',
'authentication' => "oauth",
