Configure office 365 incoming mail server

[Roee Levi]

Hello.

I'm using on-prem Jira server, trying to configure incoming pops/imaps mail server.

I've created an office 365 mailbox with username and password, configured the server details (outlook.office365.com, secure imap port 995, username and password) but the test keeps failing with error "SocketTimeoutException: connect timed out".

I tried also pops (993), also made sure mailbox is pop/imap enabled.

Any ideas? 

Thanks

@Roee Levi  Welcome to the Atlassian community

Here are the mail server settings for o365. Recommend using IMAP. 

• IMAP incoming server:    outlook.office365.com

• IMAP port:    993

• IMAP SSL:    Yes

• SMTP outgoing server:    smtp.office365.com

• SMTP port:    587

• SMTP SSL or TLS:    TLS

• POP incoming server:    outlook.office365.com

• POP port:    995

• POP SSL:    Yes

If the settings do not work, make sure IMAP is activated on your account in o365. 

You can also find this information by logging into your o365 mail account on the web, press the cog up in right corner and choose 'mail' under 'your app settings'. The choose POP and IMAP in left hand menu under accounts.

I have exactly the same issue with Jira Server 7.13 and it does not like office365. SMTP does not work. 

I can even telnet to the hostname on command prompt but not through Jira.

@Mehran Moss You should work with your network team to make sure that there are no firewall rules preventing the traffic.

I had to upgrade 8.20.15 to be able to use OAuth2 and secure HTTP.
