Exchange Oauth2 error 1004

#3067

Hello,
My organisation move to Exchange with Oauth2 and I am desperateluy trying to keep using Mailmate.
I manage to create a new account using outlook.office365.com as IMAP server and I logged in with an sms using my organisation's page. I thought everything was OK but instead it still does not retrieve my mail. I checked the activity viewer and the log mention:

20:18:55 S: A3 BAD User is authenticated but not connected.
20:18:55 Warning: Detected Exchange IMAP server response state bug. Trying to work around it by interpreting it as a temporary connection issue.
20:18:55 Error code: 1004
20:18:55 Failed action (1000). Reset observed read/write timeouts: 8/8

Any idea if there is a fix or how can I continue to use Mailmate?

It does look like a server issue. The authentication seems to work fine, but then the server fails with the message User is authenticated but not connected.. This is not a standard response (and it shouldn't use BAD for this type of problem). Seems to be some kind of problem with the connection between IMAP interface and the Exchange server, but this is not related to MailMate. My guess is that you would see the same behavior with Thunderbird (but not with Apple Mail which would connect directly to Exchange using a different protocol). Try contacting your IT department.

Thank you, I got in contact with them and it appears that the mails were not migrated to Office 365 yet, so adding outlook.office365.com as imap server does not work, and adding their imap server does not allow me to set up OAUTH2 (any idea on how to do so?). On the other hand, they will probably migrate to Office 365 soon, so I hope the problem it will be resolved then

in the meanwhile the mailbox has been migrated to office 365, and everything works great. Thank you for the support! The ticket can be closed

I'm glad it worked out for you. Just for the record, OAuth2 is only possible for outlook.office365.com. (Each domain requiring OAuth2 has to be explicitly supported by MailMate and for that to work, the provider has to provide some way for MailMate to be registered.)
