+====== Archiving from Microsoft Mail (365) accounts ======
+Microsoft has come up with a little change. If you are using Outlook 365 as your mail provider, you may need to create a specific password to only be used by the archiving script. Following are the instructions on how to do that (taken from duck.ai, so may be wrong)
+<markdown>
+To generate an app password for your Microsoft Outlook account, especially if you have two-factor authentication (2FA) enabled, follow these steps:
+## Steps to Generate an App Password
+. **Sign in to Your Microsoft Account**:
+   - Go to the [Microsoft account sign-in page](https://account.microsoft.com/account).
+   - Log in with your email and password.
+. **Navigate to Security Settings**:
+   - Once logged in, click on the **Security** tab in the top menu.
+   - You may need to verify your identity using a code sent to your email or phone.
+. **Access Additional Security Options**:
+   - Look for the **Advanced security options** link and click on it.
+. **Create an App Password**:
+   - Scroll down to the **App passwords** section.
+   - Click on **Create a new app password**. A new password will be generated.
+. **Copy the App Password**:
+   - Make sure to copy the app password displayed on the screen. You will not be able to see it again once you close the window.
+. **Use the App Password**:
+   - Use this app password in place of your regular password when connecting to your Outlook account via applications that do not support two-factor authentication.
+### Important Notes
+- **Security**: Treat your app password like a regular password. Do not share it with anyone.
+- **Revoking App Passwords**: If you ever need to revoke an app password, you can do so from the same **App passwords** section.
+- **Multiple App Passwords**: You can create multiple app passwords for different applications if needed.
