End of support for Basic Authentication access to Exchange Online API’s for Office 365

Question

Hi, 
 I wanted to ask if there is any plan to replace or if is there any work around to Basic Authentication to Poll emails with POP or IMAP or EWS as it is running out of support based on article here : https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/office/blogs/end-of-support-for-basic-authentication-access-to-exchange-online-apis-for-office-365-customers/ 
 For full context I am referring to procedure described here : https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/19.3/Mail_Server_Setup.html#configuring-appian-to-poll-an-email-account 
 Thanks in advance for the answers/advice .

Hey TJ, 
 In response to COVID-19, Microsoft has delayed the deprecation of Basic Authentication for Exchange online until the second half of 2021: https://ap.pn/2YmtDAB 
 However, a plugin has been developed in order to enable the same use case using Microsoft Graph with OAuth support. It is currently being tested, and if all goes well I would expect it to be on the App Market by the end of September. 
 To clarify, are you currently using the Poll Email from Microsoft Exchange EWS API plugin? https://ap.pn/3l0eFtM
