Purpose
=======
As it has been done for Gmail, we want to add the OAuth authentication
for the incoming / outgoing mail server.
Specifications
==============
The user has to create a project on Outlook and fill the credentials
in Odoo. Once it's done, he can create an incoming / outgoing mail
server.
For the authentication flow is a bit different from Gmail. For Outlook
the user is redirected to Outlook where he'll accept the permission.
Once it's done, he's redirected again to the mail server form view and
the tokens are automatically added on the mail server.
Technical
=========
There are 3 tokens used for the OAuth authentication.
1. The authentication code. This one is only used to get the refresh
token and the first access token. It's the code returned by the user
browser during the authentication flow.
2. The refresh token. This one will never change once the user is
authenticated. This token is used to get new access token once they
are expired.
3. The access token. Those tokens have an expiration date (1 hour) and
are used in the XOAUTH2 protocol to authenticate the IMAP / SMTP
connection.
During the authentication process, we can also give a state that will
be returned by the user browser. This state contains
1. The model and the ID of the mail server (as the same mixin manage
both incoming and outgoing mail server)
2. A CSRF token which sign those values and is verified once the browser
redirect the user to the Odoo database. This is useful so a malicious
user can not send a link to an admin to disconnect the mail server.

Part-of: odoo/odoo#87731
Purpose
=======
A field `use_google_gmail_service` has been used in stable to define
a mail server which use Gmail authentication.
But now that the fields `smtp_authentication` exists, we want to use it
to simplify the mail server form view. For the incoming mail server,
the field `server_type` will be used for the same purpose.
Add a new field to have the option to install `google_gmail` in the
main settings page.

Purpose
=======
Less secured apps are no longer supported by google, therefore, we need
to transition to the OAuth2 authentication system.
Specifications
==============
1. User will need to fill their Gmail API credentials in the main
settings page
2. Then, in the incoming / outgoing mail server form view, they will
need to tick the Gmail support checkbox
3. A link will be available to be redirected to Gmail and accept the
permission
4. The user can now copy / paste the authorization code in Odoo, set
his email as "login" and then send / receive emails with Gmail
