Wizard hotmail not generation valid config

[mattiasbonte]

When I try to add my hotmail account via the wizard it produces an error. I've basically chose all the defaults as well..

I have tried with my personal password, and then added 2fa and created an app password as well.

Both without success. Any idea what I might be doing wrong?

Done! Exiting the wizard…

Definitely looks like an authentication issue with Outlook. I tried with a outlook.com address and it works as expected, with my personal password. Could you try with imap-mail.outlook.com instead?

I've changed these a couple of times, while also switching up my password. I tried with both my personal password and the newly created app password but without success.

backend.host = "outlook.office365.com"
backend.host = "imap-mail.outlook.com"

Some warning from the trace

2024-11-12T09:11:11.677831Z  WARN client::build: email::imap: authentication failed mechanism=Plain err=ResolveTask(UnexpectedNoResponse(StatusBody { kind: No, code: None, text: Text("AUTHENTICATE failed.") }))

On a positive note, I was able to connect my gmail by following the wizard.. but with hotmail no success so fa.r

Could you share the --debug logs? We may find sth interesting about server capabilities or auth mechanism.
