Hi,

We've just upgraded a few of our desktops to use Outlook 2019, and the 
configuration is different from previous versions. There doesn't appear 
to be any ability to specify a username in addition to the user's email 
address.


The username is different than the username specified in the email 
address. I had read about setting auth_username_format, but the user 
login name is "user" while the email address is user.n...@company.com

The same issue we faced recently. Outlook seems to support only 
autodiscover. As a workaround, you should be able to create the Outlook 
profile via the E-Mail settings in the system control panel. This brings 
back the ability to configure IMAP servers and user name different from 
the email address.


Viele Grüße

Outlook 2019 and IMAP

The username is different than the username specified in the email address.
I had read about setting auth_username_format, but the user login name is
"user" while the email address is user.n...@company.com.

I've included below my dovecot -n config.
