Microsoft have been trying their best for quite some time now to cripple the IMAP support in Outlook as much as they can so that the email users will move their email business with o365 which - surprise surprise! - is soooo easy to autodiscover, autoconfigure, autothis, autothat. It's all about integrated services run by few well known powerful monopolies and it's only gonna get worse. </rant> -- Adi Pircalabu
