IMAP fails to connect to Office 365 with App Password
Steps to reproduce
- Have an Office 365 account with 2FA enabled
- Generate an App Password to be used with Nextcloud Mail
- Install Nextcloud Mail app
- Manually add an IMAP account with the expected office 365 settings
Expected behavior
IMAP should connect without issue and present the mail screen upon adding an account
Actual behavior
Authentication always seems to fail with the same message: Manual config failed. IMAP username or password is wrong.
Upon enabling debug, the horde_imap.log shows the following (username redacted):

Related: https://github.com/nextcloud/mail/issues/6591. Though I hope that is not in effect yet.
I'm closing this issue as app passwords have been discontinued and XOAUTH2 was implemented.
