Exchange account login failure

[Ovidiu-Florin BOGDAN]

Hello world,

I have a work mail account on MS Exchange on Office 365. I'm trying to create an account in KMail and using the User/Passowrd authentication mechanism. The autodiscovery of the domain works fine, but after I save the config, I see the account status showing "Authentication failed".

Our internal IT team reported that they see the authentication was successful.

I've done a little experiment with the https://github.com/ecederstrand/exchangelib library, using their readme example, with the same username and password, and I was able to see my emails.

I've also reported this bug in KDE: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=414789, but while reporting the bug I saw that my current version of the Akonadi EWS plugin is 5.11.3, but the latest is 5.13.40. Is this true? If so, I'm running Fedora 31 KDE spin, and I should have the latest package. I saw that Daniel is the maintainer for the Fedora KDE packages (not sure if all of them or not), so I'm asking:

What is the latest version of the Akonadi EWS plugin? How are plugin versions treated compared to the Akonadi version, or the KDE PIM stack version? Where is the EWS plugin packaged? In the akonadi package or separately?

Is there something I can do to fix my current situation?

Regards,
Ovidiu
