fetchmailrc and Office365

Hi there,
I have an issue by geting mails from a SLES fetchmail config who should pick up mails at O365.
My .fechtmailrc looks like this

poll outlook.office365.com
proto imap
auth password
user “username@DOMAIN.TLD”
pass “very_secret_and_I_don’t_tell_you”
folder “Inbox”
keep
is local_user

the error message is:

where is the issue? Can you provide me with a working .fetchmailrc?

Thanks in advance

Hi and welcome to the Forum :slight_smile:
So did you try the suggestions in the fetchmail FAQ link?

Solution: Configure the right authentication scheme explicitly, for instance, with --auth cram-md5 or --auth password on the command line or auth "cram-md5" or auth "password" in the rcfile. Details can be found in the manual page.
Note that auth password should only be used across secure links (see the sslcertck and ssl/sslproto options).

thanks for the warm welcome and as you can see in my post: auth password is set
without success :-/
