Freescout Error when fetching email using Exchange Online since update to v1.8.198

[Teiluj]

I spent a couple of hours trying to troubleshoot this, but at last it appears that there is an issue with Freescout latest release and fetching email from Microsoft exchange-based mailboxes.

Symptoms:

• Trying to fetching emails from Microsoft Exchange based mailbox returns the following error:

<< * OK The Microsoft Exchange IMAP4 service is ready. (BACKENDAUTHENTICATE) [RgBSADQAUAAyADgAMQBDAEEAMAAzADQAOAAuAEQARQBVAFAAMgA4ADEALgBQAFIATwBEAC4ATwBVAFQATABPAE8ASwAuAEMATwBNAA==]
TAG1 AUTHENTICATE XOAUTH2 .....
<< TAG1 NO AUTHENTICATE failed.

Please see here:

Restoring the app to before the update brings back the fetching of emails.

Might be interesting to put the update on hold/roll back the update until this is solved?

Is this an exchange specific issue? Our support@ mailbox is on Freescout and it's receiving email just fine.

So far, I have no reason to think that this anything other than exclusively exchange-releated.

@teiluj maybe you can also contribute in the upstream issue and state if you have a ":" symbold in it. The more info the better on such issues.

Thanks @nebulon - It seems as overnight contributors have reported/added more information. I will certainly contribute if anything meaningful comes up from our side. In the meantime, the issue remains for now (previous version works though.)

I was trying to follow the upstream github thread as it sounded like patches were already made in the repository. does anyone here tried upgrading their instance?

Looks like the latest Freescout release fixes this - Thanks for packaging and releasing it already.
