I have a vb6 app that will be retrieving mails from my outlook email account (******@outlook.com) which is my registered azure account ID. I can retrieve my token everytime I want to check for new mails using imap4, but on applying it later on in the app to be able to retrieve my mails, i keep getting this error: Mail Server: A0002 NO AUTHENTICATE failed.
So, what really is the issue because it was working initially when I newly created my azure account?
I have attached my app log file.

2024-03-02T20:49:07.4466667+00:00 Ok. Where do I do that? In my code, the token being generated everytime I try to read my mails is what I am using as the password.
