So I started looking here and there and found this DavMail, which works as a Gateway to “talk” with an Exchange server and then locally provide you whatever you need in order to use it. I can concur that this works with a recent (up-to-date as of September 2016) version of DavMail and an Office365 account provided by my academic institution. I have to confess, I was really ready to give up and simply use the old webmail and learn to live with it, however, I gave a last shot on my research capabilities and I found a possible solution: what if I had a way to put a “man in the middle”? What if I was able to make the IMAP to run locally on my computer while my computer simply pull the emails via Exchange protocol? It was a long shot but, could work… No IMAP, no Office365, game over?
