They do. See

I have no idea how to get an application ID for S-nail that can
simply be used.
Nor do I, but alpine has a fairly painless process for setting up
xoauth2 for microsoft. See
https://alpineapp.email/alpine/alpine-info/misc/xoauth2.html (which
starts off by explaining that "The idea of XOAUTH2 is to create the
illusion of security").
I've also discovered davmail http://davmail.sourceforge.net/, which does
the xoauth2 stuff for you and shows your mail on a local server. It
works with s-nail and I'll use it if I can't manage to connect with
s-nail directly.
