Hi!
I am trying to set up email access in my application using IMAP. I am using Oauth authentication and client credentials flow. I am able to log into a mail under my organization with IMAP enabled.
But when i try to log in using an email under a different organization i am able to connect using IMAP but i am not able to select a inbox. I have added this email as a guest in the application.
. What is wrong here? Any help is needed as i've been stuck on this for a while.
Error message:
: 'IMAP protocol error. 2 BAD User is authenticated but not connected..'

Hi @Daniel Boylan ，
In another different organization, did you enable IMAP for the users?
In addition, please refer to the following link to check whether security defaults are enabled in this organization.

If it is enabled, please disable it and try again to see if it works.
