Recently the support for OAuth 2.0 for IMAP and SMTP in the Exchange Online has been announced.
Following the guide I've set up the application permissions and IMAP and SMTP connection.
The application is configured as Accounts in any organizational directory (Any Azure AD directory - Multitenant)
and uses authorization code flow.
URLs below are used for authorization:
And the following Delegated Microsoft Graph scopes have been added:
The scopes, requests from code:
final List<String> scopes = Arrays.asList(
"offline_access",
"email",
"openid",
"profile",
"User.Read",
"Mail.ReadWrite",
"https%3A%2F%2Foutlook.office365.com%2FIMAP.AccessAsUser.All",
"https%3A%2F%2Foutlook.office365.com%2FSMTP.Send"
);
I successfully receive the access and refresh tokens:
{
"token_type": "Bearer",
"scope": "email IMAP.AccessAsUser.All Mail.ReadWrite openid profile SMTP.Send User.Read",
"expires_in": 3599,
"ext_expires_in": 3599,
"access_token": "edited",
"refresh_token": "edited",
"id_token": "edited"
}
Here's the code, used to connect to IMAP:
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("mail.imap.ssl.enable", "true");
props.put("mail.imaps.sasl.enable", "true");
props.put("mail.imaps.sasl.mechanisms", "XOAUTH2");
props.put("mail.imap.auth.login.disable", "true");
props.put("mail.imap.auth.plain.disable", "true");
props.put("mail.debug", "true");
props.put("mail.debug.auth", "true");
Session session = Session.getInstance(props);
session.setDebug(true);
String userEmail = "[email protected]";
String accessToken = "access_token_received_on_previous_step";
final Store store = session.getStore("imaps");
store.connect("outlook.office365.com", 993, userEmail, accessToken);
Which generates the following output:

And the following code is used for connecting to SMTP:
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
props.put("mail.transport.protocol", "smtp");
props.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable", "true");
props.put("mail.smtp.auth.mechanisms", "XOAUTH2");
props.put("mail.smtp.auth.login.disable","true");
props.put("mail.smtp.auth.plain.disable","true");
props.put("mail.debug.auth", "true");
Session session = Session.getInstance(props);
session.setDebug(true);
String userEmail = "[email protected]";
String accessToken = "access_token_received_on_previous_step";
Transport transport = session.getTransport("smtp");
transport.connect("smtp.office365.com", 587, userEmail, accessToken);
Which provides the output below:

What I've also tried:
- specifying scopes as
https://graph.microsoft.com/SMTP.Send
and just SMTP.Send
- using
https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/
url for authentication
Result is always the same.
Is it something I do wrong or there's a bug somewhere in the support for this from the Microsoft side?
Update 1:
Tried from the command line, but same result:
$ openssl s_client -crlf -connect outlook.office365.com:993

Update 2:
Tried to create brand new application in the Azure Portal with the following permissions:
And receiving the following screen, when trying to give consent for scopes:
That is odd, because the permissions from Azure Portal don't specify that the Admin consent is required and my previous app registration doesn't show such screen when IMAP and SMTP scopes are requested.
Update 3:
Thanks to comments to this post I tried the following scopes:
public static final List<String> SCOPES = Arrays.asList(
"offline_access",
"https%3A%2F%2Foutlook.office365.com%2FIMAP.AccessAsUser.All",
"https%3A%2F%2Foutlook.office365.com%2FSMTP.Send"
);
Which gave me the token below:
{
"token_type": "Bearer",
"scope": "https://outlook.office365.com/IMAP.AccessAsUser.All https://outlook.office365.com/SMTP.Send",
"expires_in": 3599,
"ext_expires_in": 3599,
"access_token": "eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1....",
"refresh_token": "OAQABAAAAAAAm...."
}
