    Step 1: Get [Davmail](http://davmail.sourceforge.net/).
    I'm on Arch Linux, so I installed it from the AUR.
    Step 2: Launch and configure Davmail.
    Use O365Interactive for Protocol, and uncheck `Local POP port`, `Caldav HTTP port`, and `Local LDAP port`. Keep everything else as the default, and hit save.
    Step 3: Setup your mail client.
    I'm using Mailspring, which I believe is the best mail client I can get for free. [Not Sponsored]
    Use manual config (IMAP/SMTP) to setup the account.
    Use `<your WatIAM username>@uwaterloo.ca` as your username and your WatIAM password.
    Use `localhost` as the server.
    Use the ports set in Davmail (1143 for IMAP and 1025 for SMTP by default).
    Set any authentication to None.
    The first time you attempt to connect, you'll get a Davmail popup and the UWaterloo adfs page will open. Login with your credentials, and paste the link you reach at the end into the Davmail prompt.
    Step 4: Run it as a headless service.
    Success! Your mail should now work. Davmail basically acts as an interpreter between the O365/Exchange network and IMAP/SMTP. As such, it must be constantly running to receive/send mail. Go ahead and exit Davmail. Copy the properties from your home directory to `/etc` with:
    ```

    sudo useradd --system davmail
    ```
    Finally, start and enable the service with:
    ```
    sudo systemctl enable davmail@<your-linux-username> && sudo systemctl start davmail@<your-linux-username>
