Problem you are trying to solve

There is a requirement for Oauth2 authorization for Yandex and Mail.ru accounts, as in Thunderbird, but here this is still not available feature.

Documentation: https://oauth.mail.ru/docs
Authorization endpoint: https://oauth.mail.ru/login
Token endpoint: https://oauth.mail.ru/token

Token endpoint: https://oauth.yandex.com/token

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing the repository's existing OAuth provider integration and the linked Mail.ru and Yandex documentation, then identify the relevant authorization and token-flow tests. Done means both providers support the required OAuth2 authorization and token exchange with passing coverage.
