Unexpected token in IMAP greeting: [atom: BYE]

[nhaberl]

Sometimes we get this error in our unit tests when trying to connect to an self hosted exchange server.
MailKit.Net.Imap.ImapProtocolException: Unexpected token in IMAP greeting: [atom: BYE]

No specific time or day when that happens.

Any help appreciated,
thanks Norbert

It means that your server is sending * BYE as soon as you connect.

If you can get me a log, I can probably make it handle that case a bit better, but it's still going to result in an immediate disconnect (since the server is disconnecting you).

Thanks, will try to get the log.

fwiw, you can find directions on getting a log here: https://github.com/jstedfast/MailKit/blob/master/FAQ.md#ProtocolLog

never mind, I already had a FIXME in place for this case.

It now throws an ImapProtocolException with a message of "IMAP server unexpected disconnected."
