App Passwords for IMAP
I have a 1998 Hotmail account that I still use. Today it has evolved to just yet another Microsoft account. For many years, I used `getmail` to receive mails from the account, using e-mail and password credentials. Recently microsoft sunsetted this "less secure" login method for IMAP. So following the docs I set up 2FA and created an app password to use for IMAP login instead of the account password. Unfortunately, the new app password based login keeps failing with getmail version 6.18.11 Copyright (C) 1998-2023 Charles Cazabon and others. Licensed under GNU GPL version 2. SimpleIMAPSSLRetriever:email address removed for privacy reasons@imap-mail.outlook.com:993: email address removed for privacy reasons: credential/login error (b'LOGIN failed.') The getmail config is actually pretty straight forward: [retriever] type = SimpleIMAPSSLRetriever server = imap-mail.outlook.com username = email address removed for privacy reasons password = xxxxxxxxxxxx I am aware that older getmail docs talk about an "xoauth" login method, that requires the e-mail account to be a microsoft developer account (whose registration in turn requires this and that and keeps ending with a strange error popup). However, the Microsoft docs clearly say that with 2FA turned on, all you need is an app password to use "other e-mail clients" But why doesn't it work? Any ideas?
Problems with Scheduled To Do Tasks and Outlook Calendar/My Day View using Mac/Apple
It is my understanding that tasks scheduled in To Do will appear in my Mac Outlook calendar and/or the "My Day" or as Mac users have "Day" tab next to your mail or calendar app. Every time I schedule a task, it does not show up in my calendar at all. I have tried everything I have read online and still not gotten anything to work - including syncing the apps. Can scheduled tasks be viewed on outlook calendar? Is this one of the many glitches in Microsoft's recent Mac updates? Please help.
How to Remove "on behalf of" from the Sender Information in Emails
Hello, I am using Outlook for Mac Version 16.93 (25011212). When sending emails to a Google Group, the phrase "on behalf of" appears in the sender information of emails received by group members, as shown in the image below. This prevents Outlook rules from being applied correctly, causing inconvenience. I would like to understand in which situations the "on behalf of" phrase appears and whether there are any settings in Outlook or Google Groups that can prevent this from happening. According to internal staff, this issue is also reproducible in Outlook for Windows. I assumed the issue began after configuring SPF, DKIM, and DMARC, but it continues to persist even after those settings were reverted.

Send to OneNote add-in missing everywhere in every platform
The Send to OneNote add-in missing from my outlook.com account. I'm using the web version of Outlook.com, the desktop Outlook client, and the mobile app, and the add-in missing everywhere, but I used it in the past. I have a personal account. I checked the Outlook add-ins settings but there is no option for that. What can I do?
