Handling imap from outlook 365
I apologize if this has been answered before, but...
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?
Thanks, Todd

Mr. Krein,
Have you set
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\setup] "DisableOffice365SimplifiedAccountCreation"=dword:00000001
and then chosen manual setup? That lets us specify 'fred' as the username.
Ken

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)
