IMAP API is unable to connect to Office365's IMAP server

Hi @andris9,

IMAP API is unable to connect to Office365's IMAP server.

When I add a outlook.com email address to IMAP API

var request = require('request');
var options = {
  'method': 'POST',
  'url': 'localhost:13000/v1/accounts',
  'headers': {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({"account":"nisanth074@outlook.com","name":"nisanth074@outlook.com","imap":{"host":"outlook.office365.com","port":993,"secure":true,"useAuthServer":true},"smtp":{"host":"smtp.office365.com","port":587,"secure":true,"useAuthServer":true}})

};
request(options, function (error, response) { 
  if (error) throw new Error(error);
  console.log(response.body);
});

IMAP API was unable to authenticate because it couldn't find a supported authentication mechanism

Outlook's IMAP server only has the AUTH=PLAIN and the AUTH=XOAUTH2 capabilities

require "net/imap"
imap = Net::IMAP.new('outlook.office365.com', 993, usessl = true, certs = nil, verify = false)
imap.capability

I opened a pull request that adds support for the XOAUTH2 authentication mechanism to imapflow
postalsys/imapflow#17

Would you like to merge my change?

Thanks for your time.

I bumped imapflow version so this should be fixed 13f42f2

@andris9 Thanks! There's more to this though. outlook's OAuth access tokens are lengthy. 512 characters are insufficient. I've opened a pull to increase the accessToken's length #11
