JavaMail connecting to Office 365 XOAUTH2 for IMAP Authentication fails

Copper Contributor

Facing connectivity issue with Office365 online with OAuth2.0 I have set up the application permissions and IMAP and SMTP connection.Basic authentication seems to be work fine. I believe IMAP is enabled. My application is configured as Accounts in any organizational directory (Any Azure AD directory - Multitenant) and uses grant type authorization code.

And Delegated Microsoft Graph scopes https://graph.microsoft.com/IMAP.AccessAsUser.All have been added: Client scopes added

Requested Access token with resource as https://graph.microsoft.com

Successfully received access token with scopes as IMAP.AccessAsUser.All SMTP.Send

{
    "token_type": "Bearer",
    "scope": "IMAP.AccessAsUser.All SMTP.Send",
    "expires_in": 3599,
    "ext_expires_in": 3599,
    "access_token": "access_token",
    "refresh_token": "refresh_token",
    "id_token": "id_token"
} 

So here is the Java Code (JavaMail jar 1.6.2 used)

Properties properties= new Properties();
properties.put("mail.imap.ssl.enable", "true");
properties.put("mail.imap.auth.mechanisms", "XOAUTH2");
//properties.put("mail.imap.sasl.enable", "true"); un-commented still results are same
properties.put("mail.imap.auth.login.disable", "true");
properties.put("mail.imap.auth.plain.disable", "true");
properties.put("mail.debug", "true");
properties.put("mail.debug.auth", "true");

Session session = Session.getInstance(props);
session.setDebug(true);

String userEmail = "emailuser@domain.onmicrosoft.com";
String accessToken = "accessToken";

final Store store = session.getStore("imap");
store.connect("outlook.office365.com","993",userEmail, accessToken);

Following output :

Following other posts could not able to find scopes https://outlook.office365.com/IMAP.AccessAsUser.All https://outlook.office365.com/SMTP.Send in my Azure. May be they are legacy scopes.

Is there any other scopes other then "https://graph.microsoft.com/IMAP.AccessAsUser.All" and "https://graph.microsoft.com/SMTP.send" required to connect to Exchange online through IMAP. Or any problem with existing code.

Can you tell me how to get to the accessToken?@VinyakPM 

@zoujg120820  Could I use the bearer token obtained in the method below for JavaMail connecting to Office 365 XOAUTH2  ?

Hi @shchoo83 
Is that a valid client secret? Because you've left that on public display.

Just letting you know.
