You might not be able to. I have a newish O365 account that staunchly refuses to use any protocol but MS Exchange. POP3 or IMAP at best timeout, but feed the same credentials into any exchange/outlook client and I'm in.
Well, fetchmail can access O365 as an IMAP client and pick up my mail reliably (and msmtp deliver it reliably). That took a bit of fussing but nothing special. The problem is in accessing shared mailboxes, where O365 seems to want the username to be of the form: personal.email.account@domainname\shared.email.account[@domainname] I don't know if the problem is in fetchmail or O365 yet.
I've also noticed in the main O365 account I pay for, plus a couple set up for me by past consultancies, was that my login ID was always an @office365.com, @live.ca (!) or some other MS-owned domain. I could merrily send and receive e-mail under the company domain, but the credentials were always at the same domain.
My login ID is @utoronto.ca, though the server is outlook.office365.com. As far as I can tell by looking at the headers, that is the domain name; if I had to venture a guess, I'd say that the University of Toronto pays for running its own domain and having Microsoft manage the email. -- Peter King peter.king@utoronto.ca Department of Philosophy 170 St. George Street #521 The University of Toronto (416)-978-3311 dept Toronto, ON M5R 2M8 CANADA http://individual.utoronto.ca/pking/ ========================================================================= GPG keyID 0x7587EC42 (2B14 A355 46BC 2A16 D0BC 36F5 1FE6 D32A 7587 EC42) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 7587EC42
