I read a bit more about this and "modern authentication" means also that the IMAP protocol to connect the the mailboxes is disabled. Does anyone know if there is any alternative to Outlook to access Exchange Online mailboxes that require modern authentication? The IT department of the organization that is pushing thins says that modern authentication and disabling IMAP (over SSL) enhance security. I don't see how this is the case. Does anyone have an opinion? Thank you. Cheers, Dan _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org https://chilli.nosignal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mailop
