IMAP is using Windows Authentication irrespective of provided credentials

Hi Everyone,

We are trying to use IMAP class of Aspose.Email. When I tried this code on my personal Gmail, it works perfectly but when I use this with my organization’s outlook(Exchange Server) it is automatically using my windows account to fetch email. I provided email id, password, server address and port explicitly but somehow I’m connecting to my personal outlook email instead of the given service account. This looks a bit weird. If someone knows what might be happening here, please let me know. Any help is much appreciated. Following is my code. Thanks in advance.

public static void GetEmails2(string path, string email, string pwd, string serverIMAP, int port)
        {
            // The path to the File directory.

            string dataDir = path;
            string server = serverIMAP;
            string emailId = email;
            string passwrd = pwd;
            int serverport = port;

            //ExStart:SSLEnabledIMAPServer
            //Create an instance of the ImapClient class
            Console.WriteLine(emailId);

            ImapClient client = new ImapClient(server, serverport);
            // Set the security mode to implicit
            //client.SecurityOptions = SecurityOptions.SSLImplicit;
            //ExEnd:SSLEnabledIMAPServer

            try
            {
                // ExStart:FetchEmailMessagesFromIMAPServer
                // Select the inbox folder and Get the message info collection
                client.SelectFolder("Inbox");

                ImapMessageInfoCollection list = client.ListMessages();

                // Download each message
                for (int i = 0; i < list.Count; i++)
                {

                    var dataDirTemp = dataDir + list[i].UniqueId + "\\";

                    _ = Directory.CreateDirectory(dataDirTemp);

                    // Save the EML file locally
                    client.SaveMessage(list[i].UniqueId, dataDirTemp + list[i].UniqueId + ".eml");

                    //Get the email from server
                    Aspose.Email.MailMessage Message = client.FetchMessage(list[i].UniqueId);

                    //Saves all attachments to the local directory by looping through all attachments

Can you please verify on your end as this is not likely possible. Aspose.Email IMapClient will get connected to an account for which credentials will be set in user name, password, Imap server and port.

@mudassir.fayyaz Thank you for the quick reply,

Thank you @mudassir.fayyaz, I have verified that it was an issue on our end. Sorry for the very very late reply.
