Description

Microsoft has deprecated the EWS service. While older, presumably on prem installations of exchange will still work, the current office 365 will not, as basic authentication will not work.

The documentation of the processor should be updated to reflect this.

"Today, we are announcing that on October 13th, 2020 we will stop supporting and fully decommission the Basic Authentication for EWS to access Exchange Online. This means that new or existing apps will not be able to use Basic Authentication when connecting to Exchange using EWS."

Well, it is past October 13th.
