Hi,

I try to use IMAP to read emails from Office365.

I can successfully request a token and I use the token in:

myImap.Login(Nothing, my_token, AuthenticationMethods.SaslOAuth2, AuthenticationOptions.None, Nothing)

But then I get:

The server responded: MBN00000002 NO AUTHENTICATE failed.

I read that Office365 doesn't support using the token for IMAP....but how to get this to work then?

I read that MS supports sending the following command in imap to get authenticated, but I can't do this with the mailbee imap control?:

AUTHENTICATE XOAUTH2 <base64 string in XOAUTH2 format>

In another post someone mentioned they got "credential flow" to work to read messages, but I don't know how to do this.

In short:

how can I use the mailbee controls to read/send emails using an Office365 account and oauth2?

I have found and read a lot of info about this...but so far it's all quite unclear and I have not been successfull in reading my Office365 mailbox.

Any help is appreciated!

Hi,

They (Office 365 team) are changing things all the time. Sometimes it works :)

This code works for me.

Code:

using Microsoft.Identity.Client;

using System;

using System.Linq;

using System.Threading.Tasks;

using System.Windows;

using System.Windows.Interop;

using MailBee;

using MailBee.Pop3Mail;

using MailBee.ImapMail;

using MailBee.SmtpMail;

using Newtonsoft.Json;

....

string clientId = "...";

string tenantId = "...";

string clientSecret = "...";

string userEmail = "...";

string[] scopes = { "https://outlook.office365.com/.default" };

IConfidentialClientApplication confidentalApp = ConfidentialClientApplicationBuilder.Create(clientId).WithTenantId(tenantId).WithClientSecret(clientSecret).Build();

AuthenticationResult result = await confidentalApp.AcquireTokenForClient(scopes).ExecuteAsync();

string xOAuthKey = OAuth2.GetXOAuthKeyStatic(userEmail, accessToken);

Imap imap = new Imap();

imap.Connect("outlook.office365.com", 993);

imap.Login(null, xOAuthKey, AuthenticationMethods.SaslOAuth2, AuthenticationOptions.None, null);

imap.Disconnect();

The trickiest part is setting all permissions in Office 365. It's not the scope of MailBee techsupport as it's configuring third-party provider and it has nothing special for MailBee, it's all the same for any IMAP client which wants to connect to Office 365 IMAP via OAuth 2.0.

We can send you the manual which we found working if you you leave a ticket in Helpdesk but again, it's not official. Only MS can be authoritative techsupport on the subject of generating OAuth2 tokens for their service.

Regards,
Alex

Hi Alex,

the problem is not in getting the token....I can get a token and this has the following format:

user=user@domain.com auth=Bearer hflkjdsapouyfeofifewirqep.....

I think this is a correct token is it not?

But then if I use this token in imap I get the "MBN00000002 NO AUTHENTICATE failed" error.

Maybe the problem is a setting in Office365? Do you maybe have any info on that?

Thanks!

The problem is always getting the token. A working token, I mean. As I mentioned in the previous post, via Helpdesk we can share an unofficial guide which may help you get the correct token (which is mainly the question of configuring lots of things in Office 365).

Alex

Hi Alex,

Do you mean to say that the token I get is not a correct token?

Is the format ok:

user=user@domain.com auth=Bearer hflkjdsapouyfeofifewirqep.....

(ofcourse in reality it looks a little different)

I can understand that the token itself may not be correct depending on API permissions....but the procedure to request the token works fine I think.

How can I get this "unofficial guide"?
