I'm not worthy of high opinion yet I also have ~25k karma. Karma matters less than you think.
I tried to sign-in into my work Outlook account with aerc a while ago, from WSL2, unfortunately it didn't work with an app password[0], and OAuth2 won't cut it, because I'll have to ask the company's services administrator to grant me access.

Getting pretty close now, in theory, with Guix for a distro(Guile initscripts and system def), Stumpwm(Common Lisp), Nyxt-browser(also CL), and of course Emacs with evil-mode for editing/org-mode.
