- dimlistatCopper ContributorRan into this issue while setting up IMAP on Exchange 2019.
Need to configure is the LoginType. This can be achieved by running a command in the Exchange Management Shell (elevated). Default is set to SecureLogin.
Сommand:
Set-IMAPSettings -Server <SERVER> -LoginType PlainTextLogin
The LoginType parameter specifies the authentication method for IMAP4 connections. Valid values are:
1 or PlainTextLogin.
2 or PlainTextAuthentication.
3 or SecureLogin. This is the default value.
