    Trying to connect to a shared mailbox in 365

    Q: I am now trying to connect to a shared mailbox in 365, can you please assist on how I can do this? The authentication is working fine against the user mailbox [A] but I’m not sure how to modify the IMAP4 setup to connect to a shared mailbox.

    Source:  [IMAP4]#adminlimagito@mycompany.co.uk@outlook.office365.com:993

    MailUser:  adminlimagito@mycompany.co.uk

    Shared mail:   health@mycompany.co.uk – mailbox permissions setup, email apps enabled

    I’ve tried using: adminlimagito@mycompany.co.uk\health in the username and various other option all without success [B]

    If I put health@mycompany.co.uk in the Mailbox I think it ignores this and connects to the user mailbox.

    If I follow the instructions https://limagito.com/is-there-a-possibility-to-access-a-shared-office-365-mailbox-with-imap/ it returns error ‘Check Password’ [C]

    Many thanks, Adam

    Hello Adam,
    According to our information (confirmed by a user) you should enter the shared mail address as username (health@mycompany.co.uk)
    The reason why in our article the password is left blank is because our user was using OAuth2 authentication.
    ( https://limagito.com/connecting-to-office-365-email-using-imap-and-oauth2-authentication/ )

    That is why you get the ‘Check Password’ Messagebox.

    Question, what happens when you enter health@mycompany.co.uk as username and the password from the admin account (adminlimagito@mycompany.co.uk).

    – Customer:

    As suggested I changed the username to health@mycompany.co.uk

    And left the password is it was for the admin account (adminlimagito@mycompany.co.uk).

    This now lists the health mailbox!

    The source is now: [IMAP4]health#health@mycompany.co.uk@outlook.office365.com:993

    I would not have thought to try exactly that. One for your (&mine) documentation perhaps

    Thanks again for your quick response 😊

    Adam

    POP, IMAP and SMPT with OAuth2 (Microsoft Office 365 services)

    POP, IMAP and SMPT with OAuth2 (Microsoft Office 365 services)

    Microsoft is disabling basic authentication for Microsoft Office 365 services on October 2022.

    1. The simplest solution that will not require any major changes to your setup is to have your Outlook/Exchange users turn on 2-step verification in their accounts and then generate application-specific passwords.  Otherwise, you will have to update your settings to use OAuth2 when connected to Outlook/Exchange. In this case the username stays the samen but you’ll get a new application-specific password.
    2. The second solution is using OAuth2 as described in the following example: link

    Is there a possibility to access a shared office 365 mailbox with imap

    Q: Is there a possibility to access a shared office 365 mailbox with imap. I’m connected to the Office 365 email server using OAuth2 authentication.

    A: When using OAuth2 authentication with a shared mailbox, you should only need to put in the shared mailbox address as username and no password in IMAP. The authentication part is done by OAuth2 and for the password we’ll use the OAuth2 Access Token automatically.

    Feedback customer: ‘With the shared mailbox in the username field it works!!’

    If you need any help with this ‘shared office 365 mailbox’ request, please let us know.
