Kiosk Account setup in Outlook 2016 broken after new and improved setup dialog
- You're not getting this. The Outlook Web client supplied the POP3 settings for desktop outlook. That's how it used to work.
Outlook desktop was talking to POP3 mailboxes since, uh, I dunno, version RC1?
Worth checking on here, but far as I'm aware K / F plans arnt supported to use Outlook clients.
They are designed to be used via browser / mobile devices. (Worth checking the foot notes, sure it mentions somewhere IMAP not supported, probably under the client section)

- Hi Steve
They have never supported IMAP, which is pretty amazing given that POP is ancient.
See my reply to the other guy... They worked just fine in Outlook until the last round of "improvements"- Maybe you'll be best off logging a support request, I dont claim to know the internal wonders of how MS work
What I do know though is - Kiosk accounts are designed to be deskless licences. I.e - no full fat clients.With all due respect, Steve, your answer makes no sense at all.
POP3, IMAP, MAPI, EAS, SMTP - These are transport protocols. They say nothing about the type of client. POP3, IMAP, and SMTP are in the public domain, MAPI and EAS are proprietary MS protocols.
To claim that a transport protocol defines a type of client is akin to saying that a highway is designed for four wheeled vehicles and two wheeled vehicles won't work on it.
