just upgraded to new release of outlook. Can connect to outlook emails but trying to get emails from my SMPT (IMAP) server seems to be an issue. Have used same setting as what was previously used but will not allow email to be pulled from the server or sent out.

    Hi @Ralph Drost

    Welcome to our forum!

    What type of account are you configured for IMAP?

    As far as I know, if you are using a POP or IMAP connection to Outlook.com, newer authentication is not supported. It's recommended that you configure this parameter for an Exchange account.

    Below is the official announcement from Microsoft. You can refer to it and confirm if you are in the following situation:
