Hi

I'm trying to authenticate use OAUTH2 token based authentication for Outlook but not able to get authenticated.

Whenever Authenticate is called using a token [**Authenticate(string Token, ImapAuthenticationMethod ImapAuthenticationMethod.OAuth2)**] it throws the following error

ComponentPro.Net.Mail.ImapException: **AUTHENTICATE failed (NO).**
   at ComponentPro.Net.Mail.Imap.c_47d8efdd(String , ImapResponse , Boolean )
   at ComponentPro.Net.Mail.Imap.c_56b07853(String )
   at ComponentPro.Net.Mail.Imap.c_5e2380a4(String , String , ImapAuthenticationMethod , c_e )
   at ComponentPro.Net.Mail.Imap.c_c224912a(String , String , ImapAuthenticationMethod )
   at ComponentPro.Net.Mail.Imap.Authenticate(String token, ImapAuthenticationMethod method)

I'm using the following code:

    try 
    { 
    	var _task = Task.Run(() => { return GetAccessToken(); });
    	_task.Wait();
    	var tokenResult = _task.Result;
    	AccessToken = tokenResult.AccessToken;
    
    	MailClient = new Imap();
    	MailClient.Config = new ImapConfig() { AllowedTlsVersions = TlsSslVersion.TLS12 };
    	MailClient.Connect("outlook.office365.com", 993, SslSecurityMode.Implicit);
    	string initAuthInfo = GenerateSASLToken();
    
    	MailClient.Authenticate(initAuthInfo, ImapAuthenticationMethod.OAuth20);
    
    	if (MailClient.IsAuthenticated)
    		ReadMailbox();
    	else
    		throw new Exception($"User authentication failed.");
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
    	throw ex
    }
    finally
    {
    	if (MailClient.IsConnected)
    		MailClient.Disconnect();
    }
    
    private async Task GetAccessToken()
    {
    	try
    	{
    		var confidentialClientApplication = ConfidentialClientApplicationBuilder
    			.Create(ClientId)
    			.WithClientSecret(ClientSecret)
    			.WithTenantId(TenantId)
    			.Build();
    
    		var scopes = new string[] { "https://outlook.office365.com/.default" };
    
    		return await confidentialClientApplication.AcquireTokenForClient(scopes).ExecuteAsync();
    	}
    	catch (Exception ex)
    	{
    		throw;
    	}
    }
    
    private string GenerateSASLToken()
    {
    	string authData = string.Format("user={0}{1}auth=Bearer {2}{1}{1}", UserName, '\x1', AccessToken);
    	return Convert.ToBase64String(Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(authData));
    }

If I use the same credential (SASL token) and call the **SendCommand** the response received is **OK AUTHENTICATE completed.**

    MailClient.SendCommand("AUTHENTICATE", new object[2] { "XOAUTH2", initAuthInfo });
    ImapResponse _response = MailClient.ReadResponse();


Regards
