We have some users who would like to continue using POP/IMAP using Outlook either from package apps for business/Enterprise or Standard/Pro, we have an email that is used by several people who have their own folder structures in their clients. One uses Microsoft 365 Apps for business, another uses Office 2021 Home and Business and the last uses Office Professional 2021. Is there any way to still use POP/IMAP, but use OAuth2? I know that POP/IMAP is going to be shut down on October 1.
