I just completed the third service request with BOTH Google AND Microsoft Office 365. The senior technician with MS confirmed that classic Outlook 365 is no longer supporting IMAP because MS wants users to migrate to the new Outlook. I think its a travesty as I think that the new Outlook is awful, but that's the final word on it.

I had a feeling that Microsoft was encouraging everyone to migrate to a newer version of Office or 365. This all started with an update. I think I will stop using Windows for any mail and simply go to my Linux computer using Thunderbird. My old computer will not run Win 11, so when the update loads and turns off my Win 10, I will have another computer running Linux

Not sure but I am on Windows 11 and Office 365 with all the latest updates, as of yesterday's patch Tuesday.

  Yep, that's where they want us all to be. I am running Win 10 and Office Professional 16. Planned obsolescence, buy a new computer, get new operating system, get new office suite. I am sure glad Google doesn't do that with Android.
