Of course they have no opinion on mailmate. That said our local Mac

They refused to authorize fantastical oauth when I asked a couple
years ago. I didn’t push the matter, quite possible I could have
gotten it authorized if I explained it is a desktop client.

In many cases these restrictions come about not for technical reasons,
but for legal reasons. An institution I work with has a hard requirement
for faculty to use only Microsoft Outlook on non-University-owned
equipment (which means I don’t read email there very often.) The
reasoning seems to ultimately be that, in the event something terrible
happens, they’ll have just one entity to sue instead of (potentially)
many. Faculty are on Office 365; students are on institutional gmail.
Students don’t have this requirement (because almost all of their
equipment is non-University-owned).
Obviously this sort of situation is, pretty much, out of the sysadmin
staff’s hands.
