    Hi @Mikhail Firsov ,

    According to my test, please run below commands to allow external IMAP4 server settings to be viewed by end users.

    Set-ImapSettings -ExternalConnectionSettings {Servername.Contoso.com:993:SSL}  
    

    To apply these changes, you must restart IIS. Run powershell as administrator to run below command.

    iisreset
