I use my work email address as the username and the work password along with it when using imap/smtp with davmail. There are multiple sign-in options (one of which was selected by your employer) listed at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/hybrid/plan-connect-user-signin, but I think IMAP should work regardless. My workplace uses federated authentication, and davmail works fine for me. Have you tried and failed to authenticate using your email address and password? -- regards, kushal
