NOTE that software programmes which use IMAP settings can only access email. IMAP does not allow access the calendar, contacts, tasks, and other features.
We, therefore, always recommend that users utilise the Outlook software, since it contains many features connected to the entire Office 365 software programme all in one place, such as access to the calendar and contacts, creating groups, sharing files, booking meeting rooms, and more. Some users, however, prefer to set up their mail using IMAP settings. Here is the necessary technical information for these users:
Always select IMAP - We strongly discourage users from using POP protocols.
