Oauth SMTP authentication support?

There is no plan to support OAuth SMTP.

If someone has interested in Email, see https://github.com/codeigniter4/CodeIgni...ssues/1615.
And implement OAuth SMTP authentication.

Alternatively, you could create a Composer package that uses PHPMailer as the backend and provides APIs that are compatible with the current CI4 Mail APIs.
