Microsoft seems to want to start disabling Basic Auth for Exchange Online and mentioned ending support for EWS protocol https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/exchange-team-blog/basic-authentication-and-exchange-online-february-2021-update/ba-p/2111904

We're using Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.2.2 library to get emails from EWS inbox like that:

var service = new ExchangeService(ExchangeVersion.Exchange2010);
service.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(username, password, domain);
var findResults = service.FindItems(WellKnownFolderName.Inbox, new ItemView(int.MaxValue));

Is this going to be disabled in the near future? Should we change the way we access emails?

Ultimately yes. But for now you are safe. They did the same for github also. – lllrnr101 Feb 15 '21 at 06:30

Yes you should migrate to using oAuth as soon as you can for a number of reasons – Glen Scales Feb 15 '21 at 22:37
