Re: MS Deprecation Basic Authentication

Hi Robert,

I can empathize and understand the perspective of people preferring to use Apple Mail and not wanting to move to 
Outlook for Mac given its history. Unfortunately, the reality (as you noted) is that they don’t really have a choice 
and will need to use Outlook for Mac or the online web access. I’ve seen several universities and businesses be 
successful in transitioning by informing people early on and making sure they realize that the latest version of 
Outlook for Mac has come a long way from it’s not-so-humble beginnings.

Best,

Subject: [SECURITY] MS Deprecation Basic Authentication
Morning,

Q2 of this year, Microsoft was scheduled to deprecate basic authentication in M365.  It has been postponed for now.  
But this just gives tenants more time to address the apps/people using older protocols.  For those using Apple 
products, it seems that IMAP, SMTP, and POP are common, and the products have no updates/upgrades to be found to 
address this coming issue.  If you had these products in the mix, what did you move to?  Did you force people to move 
to OUTLOOK.COM?  Some people are reticent to move to a MS product, so I figured others may have already had this dance 
with staff and faculty, and maybe had an answer.

Yes, IT was more distributed previously, and this is a pain point of centralizing.
