Microsoft:

        "Today, we are announcing that on October 13th, 2020 we will
        stop supporting and retire Basic Authentication for Exchange
        Active Sync (EAS), Post Office Protocol (POP), Internet Message
        Access Protocol (IMAP), and Remote PowerShell (RPS) in Exchange
        Online. This means that new or existing applications using one
        or more of these API’s/protocols will not be able to use Basic
        Authentication when connecting to Office 365 mailboxes or
        endpoints and will need to update how they authenticate."

"Today" being 20 September 2019, according to the web page.
