invalid server response 1.1.500

WHEN is this issue going to be fixed?

I have this with Microsoft and similar with GMX.


It used to work fine. Uninstalled and did a clean install too and still the issues continued.

Microsoft has already forced me to change my password twice too.


What's going on? Why not clearly address the issue and post updates?

I thought the app was supposed to get better....

WHEN is this issue going to be fixed?

Hello,

Seems like Microsoft has acknowledged the issue, or at least to some extent

https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/office/outlook-and-other-apps-are-unable-to-connect-to-outlook-com-f4202ebf-89c6-4a8a-bec3-3d60cf7deaef

The discussion can be found here: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook_com/forum/all/outlook-2016-doesnt-accept-password-or-app/b806e4e8-28fd-4b5b-8be2-2b03cf39b938?login_hint=martin.kostov%40mobisystems.com&page=1

P.S. If you go through the comments, you will find that the error you are experiencing has been mentioned by others as well.

The Microsoft link states

STATUS: RESOLVED


And also that doesn't explain why both yahoo and now GMX are forcing me to change password as though account was hacked.

Well my Microsoft accounts haven't been resolved at all. All three Hotmail accounts and two Outlook accounts are still not working in Aquamail. I can however access them with no problems using other email clients.

If you remove them and re-add them as IMAP, then they should work fine in AquaMail (without contact and calendar data).

[sunking101]

The previous version of AquaMail works fine with no workarounds required. I have it on an older tablet and didn't update once I realised the newer version wasn't working on my phone and other tablet.

I don't want to remove them. It's a ton of work adjusting all the settings afterwards. Why can't Aquamail just correct the problem and issue an update? All the other email clients I've tried work fine.

[chumley]

All the other email clients I've tried work fine.

Other email clients except Outlook are probably using IMAP.

So which option do I use to set up using IMAP?

[chumley]

If you add an account using the Hotmail/Outlook/Live option, then it will use IMAP.

[sunking101]

Pretty sure that's what I did anyway.

[hpg38]

You must choose the "other message" or "other provider" option depending on the translation to use the imap.
by choosing Hotmail/Outlook Aqua will connect using Oauth2.

[chumley]

OAuth2 is just the authentication method. It still uses IMAP for receiving email. What you suggested would only be needed if you want to use simple password authentication.

[hpg38]

so that may be true but I tested with Google by deactivating imap (as you can do) Aqua continued to work.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say Microsoft's Graph API will be the best solution for connecting to services provided through Office 365. What would happen if AquaMail decided to not provide connectivity using Graph API? In that case, unless the user was seeking only an email solution, I feel as though subscribers to Office 365 would best look to applications other than AquaMail to meet their needs.

How can we find out if Graph API is on AquaMail's development roadmap?
