devide: iPad pro 2020, iOS 14.2 & iPhone 11, iOS 14.2

When configuring my accounts in the outlook app everything works for aan office365 account or google-account, but when I want to add my imap-account outlook freezes.

I found on this article that "The root cause of this problem is, because Microsoft changed authentication method for IMAP to OAuth 2.0 only for o365 accounts (web dialog asking for password). Before this change you could use username and password for IMAP. Apple do not implement OAuth 2.0 for IMAP."

This is Chinese for me, all I want is a solution that works for me.
So can anyone please help me how to get my imap-account back in outlook.

By the way: on my macbook pro it works fine.

Thanks in advance.

    Hi @Luc Zwartjes ,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

    According to your description, seems that you are encountering issues about Outlook for iOS, right? If so, please kindly understand that here we mainly focus on general issues about Outlook desktop client and know little about Outlook for mobile device, the supported products are listed over here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/products (more to be added later on).

    So, in order to better solve your issue, it is suggested to post a new thread to the dedicated forum for Outlook for iOS. The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us.

    Thanks for your understanding and hope your question will be resolved soon.
