It's not in the same source file as the GMail one - no idea how it works. That file has since been renamed to `OAuth2Providers.sys.mjs` - you will probably want to fix the link. The source makes a reference to dynamic client registration, but again, no idea what it is, or how to find it in the source code or in my Thunderbird profile data. It's not available in the error console either, that only has the token. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to find the client secret for Outlook.
