in Announcing OAuth 2.0 support for IMAP and SMTP AUTH protocols in Exchange Online on 01-23-2021

I'll have to check, but from memory in mid-2017 MSFT announced this 90 days cut-off for new tenants, but it applied to refresh tokens that hadn't been used during that time.

Hi @Greg Taylor - EXCHANGE , Ok that could be very good news. So can you confirm Microsoft will not start disabling IMAP with basic authentication until some time after this roadmap item 70577 has been completed?
