Reading messages from Outlook Account

Question

Reading messages from Outlook Account

Asad Hashmi 6

I need to use modern authentication (using OAUTH2) for reading the inbox messages using IMAP(in PHP). I am able to send emails using oauth2 but for reading emails. I can get the user's information using Graph API but cannot read the inbox messages. It is saying as "No Authenticate failed".

Is it necessary that we have to use an organizational/paid account to hit the email's read api?

Hi @CarlZhao-MSFT ,

Sorry for the late reply. I was using javanile/php-imap2 library for oauth imap. I changed the line#776 of vendor/javanile/php-imap2/src/ImapClient.php from $auth = base64_encode("user=$user\1auth=Bearer $pass\1\1"); to $auth = base64_encode("user=$user\001auth=Bearer $pass\001\001"); and it works fine.

Thanks for your response

Hi Asad,

I hope you are doing well.

I am also using imap_open on PHP but using Basic Auth and running out of time to shift it to Modern Auth.

Can you please help me out and explain how you created the app and its settings and how you allowed user to use the application?

Also, do you run the php script as a cron job?

I would highly appreciate if you could help me out.

Thank you.
