Hotmail Email Proxy - Cannot Establish Connection
Closed this issue · 4 comments
HI Simon,
I'm really interested in using your email proxy to authenticate with my email accounts. Specifically, Hotmail.
I've set it up quite basic:
[IMAP-1993]
documentation = *** note: this server will work for both Office 365 and personal Outlook/Hotmail accounts ***
server_address = outlook.office365.com
server_port = 993
local_address = 127.0.0.1
[POP-1995]
documentation = *** note: this server will work for both Office 365 and personal Outlook/Hotmail accounts ***
server_address = outlook.office365.com
server_port = 995
local_address = 127.0.0.1
[SMTP-1587]
documentation = *** note: this server will work for both Office 365 and personal Outlook/Hotmail accounts ***
server_address = smtp-mail.outlook.com
server_port = 587
server_starttls = True
local_address = 127.0.0.1
[<Hotmail Address>]
permission_url = https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/authorize
token_url = https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/token
oauth2_scope = https://outlook.office.com/IMAP.AccessAsUser.All https://outlook.office.com/POP.AccessAsUser.All https://outlook.office.com/SMTP.Send offline_access
redirect_uri = http://localhost
client_id = <generated using Azure account>
I'm using it via Docker (https://github.com/blacktirion/email-oauth2-proxy-docker) and I can see the log file which indicates all good:

It accepts the connection, but then immediately closes it, not sure what I'm doing wrong?
> telnet 127.0.0.1 1993
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to 127.0.0.1.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.
Please post the log from the proxy in --debug mode so we can see whether it is actually receiving a connection attempt.
That's all I see in the log, it is currently running in debug mode:
Do you have anything else listening on localhost?
It may also be worth trying listening on a different address given the Docker layer that you're connecting through.
I'm going to assume this has been resolved, so am closing this issue.
