Hi Dmitry, I insist on using IMAP because: - this is not a regular self-hosted Exchange server - this is Office365 online, not Exchange 2010/WebDAV
I checked the github and found this: https://github.com/k9mail/k-9/wiki/K9MailAndExchange So, apparently K-9 only works with MSX up and until version 2010 which still used WebDAV protocol to communicate with the clients. Since O365 is more recent than MSX2010 it obviously uses the protocol they implement afterwards, that is, EWS. And K-9 to my knowledge does not support EWS. That's why everybody is using IMAP on instances of O365 that still have IMAP enabled. The IT guys can disable it anytime. Well...as much as they can also disable EWS. The point is, I am using what is available in K-9 for the server that I am connecting to. And the server that I am connecting it to has IMAP enabled for this customer's domain. So, to my eyes, it's just a question of being able to access a shared mailbox.
