Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for MAPI, EAS, IMAP and POP3
Idea shared by Oliver - 5/30/2025 at 3:57 PM
Under Consideration
Hello,

Are there any plans to integrate Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) into SmarterMail for MAPI, ActiveSync, IMAP and POP3?
I think it is very important to have this security measure in a modern email system. Guidelines such as DORA and NIS2 already require this, and more will surely follow.

Best regards,
Oliver

Yet another example of the importance of 2FA, even for MAPI, EWS, ActiveSync, IMAP, and POP3 protocols.

It's a shame that ST doesn't seem to be interested in this topic, as there hasn't even been any feedback yet.

This is yet another reason why I have to recommend MS365 to some customers.
