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

Thanks Mike. I've tried these approaches and other variations but none
of them seems to work.
"quant" is the shared mailbox in this case:

curl --url "imaps://outlook.office365.com/" --user "company.com\allan\quant"
curl --url "imaps://outlook.office365.com/" --user "company.com/allan/quant"
curl --url "imaps://outlook.office365.com/" --user
"company.com\allan_at_company.com\quant:pass"
curl --url "imaps://outlook.office365.com/" --user
"company.com\allan_at_company.com\quant:pass"
curl --url "imaps://outlook.office365.com/" --user
"company.com/allan_at_company.com/quant:pass"
curl --url "imaps://outlook.office365.com/" --user
"allan_at_company\quant_at_company:pass"
curl --url "imaps://outlook.office365.com/" --user "allan_at_quant@company:pass"

and many many many other combinations...

I am inclined to think that curl is not interpreting the user argument
in the way the server is expecting, like you said.
