Having the option `smtpPassEval` is a little more intuitive, but can't
this also be achieved using a custom credential helper[0]?
Something like:
[credential "smtp://smtp.office365.com:587"]
username = someone@xxxxxxxxxxx
helper = "!f() { test \"$1\" = get && echo \"password=$(cd /workspaces/codespaces-blank/M365-IMAP && python3 ./refresh_token.py)\"; }; f"
