Outlook with mailmate
Reported by Jonathan Latner | March 8th, 2022 @ 07:58 AM
I cannot connect mailmate with outlook. When I create the account, mailmate connects me with my default browser. A webpage open that asks, "Are you trying to sign in to MailMate?" I click Continue. I am then returned to the mailmate application, but the process repeats itself, endlessly without actually creating a Mailmate mailbox for outlook.

First try updating: Hold down ⌥ when clicking “Check Now” in the Software Update preferences pane to get the latest test release.
If it still fails, use “Help > Send Feedback” to send me a screenshot of your account settings.

I'm also facing this issue. My MailMate setup stopped working today with my Outlook.com account, it asks to "Authorize MailMate to access email for <> at "imap.outlook.com"." and the authorization in the browser is successful but MailMate pops up the same dialog again.
I updated to latest 5875, tried outlook.office365.com as the IMAP server and smtp.office365.com/smtp-mail.outlook.com as the SMTP server, overrode the ports but it still didn't work.
New Server settings tried from:

The solution for me was to use an application specific password.

It appears it'll work for most/all users when disabling OAuth2 and using an application specific password instead, but for the record I have a test account for which it does work with OAuth2. I use
imap-mail.outlook.com
andsmtp-mail.outlook.com
and the full email address as username. I guess it might help if you open “Keychain Access” and locate/delete the tokens matchingcom.freron.MailMate.Outlook.*-token
. This will force MailMate to completely start over with OAuth2. Let me know if that helps. -

Deleting the tokens fixed it, thanks! Was trying to avoid going the app password route.

@Sanchit: Thanks for confirming “the fix”. I'll have to think about how to best handle this.
