Re: MS Deprecation Basic Authentication

We recommend Outlook and will only support email issues if the user is using Outlook.  We have some who "support" them 
self and use other clients for email access w/ MFA.  If it does not work correctly, they are on their own to fix it.

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.
