IMAP Authentication Failiure in Sahrepoint 2016 Version

I'm getting

MailKit.Security.AuthenticationException: Authentication failed at MailKit.Net.Imap.ImapClient.Authenticate

in the logs whenever i try and sync mail..i have tried the IMAP settings elsewhere and they are working ok.. I've read elsewhere this is and issue with MailKit/NTLM and Exchange but obviously I can't start re-writing your binaries. I've also delegated permissions for the Farm account to the mailbox

Love the application and keen to buy but no working with exchange is a deal breaker.

SharePoint not Sahrepoint

extra logging details…

Hello @markofsoton,

Thank you for contacting us.

Could you please try to configure Outlook to using the same IMAP settings (the same mail server and the same user account and password) and let us know about the results?

Best regards,

I had this problem and figured it out today. On the incoming mail settings use domain\username for the email address.
