SOLUTION FOUND migrating BT business email office lite. Client email compatible with BT Office email

After spending about a week and hours each day over 8 programs trying to find a way to migrate my emails off BT business outlook account I've found a solution.

SOLUTION: Download "Thunderbird" email and add "Owl for Exchange" extension and, wallah! All my emails have pulled through. I'll never use BT or Microsoft for business emails ever again.

NOTE: the license for Owl is short and I haven't a clue what happens after so perhaps once the emails have been downloaded transfer over to local folders and export the file and then download exported files in another program.

NOTE: Thunderbird extension "importexport" can be used to export in different formats.

None of the below Imap or pop settings worked along with older settings. I've just noted them for search purposes to find this article.

outlook.office365.com
port 995
SSL applied/ticked

smtp.office365.com
port 587
SMTP authentication applied/ticked
TLS applied/ticked
Authentication - password

and

Server name: outlook.office365.com
Port Number: 993
Encryption: SSL/TLS
2. POP Server Settings
Server name: outlook.office365.com
Port Number: 995
Encryption: SSL/TLS

Thanks for sharing your solution! Migrating emails can be quite the challenge, so your insights are very valuable. Here’s a summary of your findings for others who might be facing the same issue: LiteBlue USPS

Solution:

Download Thunderbird email client.
Add the Owl for Exchange extension.
Once emails are downloaded, consider transferring them to local folders and exporting them using the ImportExport extension for different formats.

Note: The Owl license is short, so it's advisable to handle exports promptly.

Failed IMAP/POP Settings for Reference:

IMAP: outlook.office365.com, Port: 995, SSL enabled.
SMTP: smtp.office365.com, Port: 587, TLS and SMTP authentication enabled.
Alternative IMAP: Port: 993, Encryption: SSL/TLS.
Alternative POP: Port: 995, Encryption: SSL/TLS.

This workaround should be helpful for anyone trying to migrate from a BT business Outlook account. Thanks again for sharing, and good luck with your future email endeavors!
