cURL and IMAP - accessing a shared mailbox in an IMAP Exchange Server

From: Allan Quadros via curl-users <curl-users_at_cool.haxx.se>
Date: Wed, 22 Jul 2020 20:17:17 -0300

Hi!

According to this link (https://cutt.ly/Ka21ZXX), the appropriate way
of accessing a shared mailbox on an IMAP Exchange Server from an IMAP
client is to pass the user information as
"user_at_company\sharedmailbox". Supposedly, the client would be able to
impersonate the user and access the shared mailbox.

However, when I try to replicate this recommendation using curl, I get
login denied.

curl --url "imaps://outlook.office365.com/" --user
"allan_at_company.com\sharedmailbox:mypass"

Can someone please confirm if that is the correct way of accessing a
shared mailbox using cURL? Perhaps I am missing something or my server
settings do not allow it, so it would be good to know whether someone
successfully did this before, even if it was on a different IMAP
server.

Thanks in advance.

Allan
