Problem you are trying to solve
I would like to use K-9 mail with my own OAuth provider. There doesn't currently seem to be a way to specify OAuth providers outside of the ones in OAuthConfigurations.kt.
Suggested solution
Minimally something like FairEmail's method of accepting a config file would be fine.

Research direction
Start by reading OAuthConfigurations.kt and the existing provider definitions to understand how OAuth providers are currently selected. Compare the requested behavior with FairEmail's config-file approach, then clarify the configuration format and supported provider fields. Done means users can specify and use an OAuth provider outside the built-in configurations.
