I used Davmail in the past when the server supported EWS. AFAICT, it
does not work with the current server. If you look at the Exchange
protocols listed at http://davmail.sourceforge.net/gettingstarted.html,
OWA is not one of them:

 * O365Modern Office 365 modern authentication (Oauth2)
 
 * O365Interactive Office 365 with interactive browser window, not
   available in headless mode (OpenJFX required)

 * O365Manual Office 365 with interactive dialog, not available in
   headless mode
 
 * O365 Office 365 EWS mode
 
 * EWS Exchange 2007 and later
 
 * WebDav Exchange 2007 and earliear WebDav mode
 
 * Auto WebDav mode with EWS failover

Have you used it with OWA as the protocol?
