Re: Handling imap from outlook 365

Microsoft Outlook 365 doesn’t allow a user to specify the account name for an imap acout, only the email address. Thus fred@smith.com <mailto:fred@smith.com> tries to log in as “fred@smith.com <mailto:fred@smith.com>” rather than “fred”.

Has anyone seen a way to fix this (Microsoft help boards are silent), perhaps by stripping the “@smith.com” during the logon procedure?

rather than trying to change the behaviour of outlook, wouldn't it be easier to just get dovecot to handle auth with the @realm part? (you can make it ignore the realm in the authdb and userdb configs)
