What impact to POP3 account if basic authentication was disabled
Hi, We currently in progress to move our exchange online user to Modern Authentication. At same time we have around 800 Kiosk account currently using POP3. I'm wonder what will happened to this ...
The cmdlet you are referring to is tailored to ActiveSync devices, not POP3, but yes, you can use it to block access to specific protocol(s).
As for Outlook/Office support for this, I cannot speak on behalf of Microsoft, but keep an eye on the blog space here.
Ok so based on your explanation, meaning our kiosk user possibly still can continue use pop3 when Microsoft disabled basic authentication, is it? But yes for sure I will keep research on this. Thanks a lot for your feedback.
After read few more article, I can conclude if Basic Authentication globally disabled seems no chance for our user to use POP3 anymore. Seems we need to prepare about this. Hopefully Microsoft will give enough time before disable this service.
