My Outlook account stopped syncing. I upgraded and downgraded a
few times but was getting different errors.
- On the latest beta, I was getting errors saying IMAP password
is wrong, even after entering the correct password, which was weird
since I used to login with OAuth earlier and approve the MailMate
app to access stuff, not enter a password.
- Then I downgraded to the last public release, here it opened a
browser window to approve MailMate but it did so multiple
times.
- Upgraded to 6065.
- I tried adding the account again as a new IMAP source and saw
in the settings & MS documentation that IMAP server has changed
from imap-mail.outlook.com to outlook.office365.com, so I updated
my existing source with this, the new IMAP source hadn't started
showing any emails yet, not sure if it would've succeeded sicne the
IMAP/SMTP settings were identical, so I removed it.
- After updating the IMAP URL, now it didn't ask me for a
password and opened the browser window to approve MailMate as an
app like earlier but it's doing this again & again in a loop
and it finally stops and takes the account offline. I was keeping
an eye on Keychain Access and the 3 items (token, refresh token,
expiry) keep getting created & removed when I'm approving the
app in the browser window.
Also I don't remember for sure but the tokens in Keychain Access
were named with "outlook" in the middle, I deleted them sometime
after (3), but the new tokens are named with "office365".
Did something change recently wrt Outlook accounts ?
