Hi @Hanaa Elshazly

So far, I do not find this message from any Microsoft documentation.

But Microsoft stops supporting basic authentification for IMAP, Microsoft wants you to use Modern Authentication, which is based upon OAuth 2.0 for authentication and authorization.
For more details, you can refer to 'Deprecation of Basic authentication in Exchange Online'.
