1966474 - [ews] The outgoing server doesn't support Basic auth

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Account Manager, defect)

Description

[Brendan Abolivier [:babolivier]]

While preparing the announcement for the upcoming EWS release, I realised that, although we support Basic auth for incoming mail, we don't when sending messages. I believe this should be fixed sooner rather than later, since not supporting Basic auth could severely limit users' ability to test with older versions of Exchange Server.

Thankfully this should not be difficult, as all of this is handled through the EwsOutgoingServer's implementation of the AuthenticationProvider trait. I'll submit a patch for this shortly.
