IMAP access to mail office 365 with javamail

Question

I'm trying to read the emails in a folder of an email account Office365 using JavaMail 1.4 api.

My code is:

    public static void main(String argv[]) throws Exception {
    // Get a Properties object
    Properties props = System.getProperties();

    // Get a Session object
    Session session = Session.getInstance(props, null);

    // Get a Store object
    Store store = null;
    Folder rf = null;

    if (CUR_MAIL_PROTOCOL != null)
        store = session.getStore("imap");

    // Connect
    if (CUR_MAIL_HOST != null || CUR_MAIL_LOGIN != null || CUR_MAIL_PWD != null)
        store.connect("outlook.office365.com", 993, "**MYEMAIL**", "**MYPASS**");
    else
        store.connect();

    // List namespace
    rf = store.getDefaultFolder();

    getFolderDetails(rf, true, "");
    if ((rf.getType() & Folder.HOLDS_FOLDERS) != 0) {
        Folder[] f = rf.list("%");
        for (int i = 0; i < f.length; i++)
            getFolderDetails(f[i], recursive, "    ");
    }

    store.close();
}

My error is:

    Exception in thread "main" javax.mail.MessagingException: Connection timed out: connect;
  nested exception is: 
    java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect
    at com.sun.mail.imap.IMAPStore.protocolConnect(IMAPStore.java:298)
    at javax.mail.Service.connect(Service.java:234)

Thanks

In my case what was missing was:

 props.setProperty("mail.imaps.sasl.mechanisms","XOAUTH2")

all props working for me (both gmail and o365):

"mail.imaps.ssl.enable"         true
"mail.imaps.sasl.enable"        true
"mail.imaps.auth.login.disable" true
"mail.imaps.auth.plain.disable" true
"mail.imaps.auth.mechanisms"    "XOAUTH2"
"mail.imaps.usesocketchannels"  true
"mail.event.scope"              "session"
"mail.imaps.starttls.enable"    true
"mail.imaps.sasl.mechanisms"    "XOAUTH2"

stil I am getting error :- javax.mail.AuthenticationFailedException: AUTHENTICATE failed. Actually I am trying to read the mail from my office email which is 'office 365' . Could you please tell me, what configuration or properties value I am missing ?

Does this still work? I am getting a MessagingException: A3 BAD User is authenticated but not connected. I know I have the right password because I can connect with pop3s, it's just imaps that I'm having trouble with.
