Office365 IMAP with OAuth2 Authentication

See more Office365 Examples

Demonstrates how to authenticate using OAuth2 with outlook.office365.com. Lua

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

-- An Office365 OAuth2 access token must first be obtained prior
-- to running this code.

-- Getting the OAuth2 access token for the 1st time requires the O365 account owner's
-- interactive authorizaition via a web browser.  Afterwards, the access token
-- can be repeatedly refreshed automatically.

-- See the following examples for getting and refreshing an OAuth2 access token

-- Get Office365 SMTP/IMAP/POP3 OAuth2 Access Token
-- Refresh Office365 SMTP/IMAP/POP3 OAuth2 Access Token

-- First get our previously obtained OAuth2 access token.
local jsonToken = chilkat.JsonObject.new()
local success = jsonToken:load_file("qa_data/tokens/office365.json")
if not success then
    print("Failed to open the office365 OAuth JSON file.")
    return
end

local imap = chilkat.Imap.new()

imap.ssl = true
imap.port = 993

-- Connect to the Office365 IMAP server.
success = imap:connect("outlook.office365.com")
if not success then
    print(imap.last_error_text)
    return
end

-- Use OAuth2 authentication.
imap.auth_method = "XOAUTH2"

-- Login using our username (i.e. email address) and the access token for the password.
success = imap:login("OFFICE365_EMAIL_ADDRESS", jsonToken:string_of("access_token"))
if not success then
    print(imap.last_error_text)
    return
end

print("O365 OAuth authentication is successful.")

-- Do something...
success = imap:select_mailbox("Inbox")
if not success then
    print(imap.last_error_text)
    return
end

-- Your application can continue to do other things in the IMAP session....

-- When finished, logout and close the connection.
success = imap:logout()
success = imap:disconnect()

print("Finished.")
