Unable to retrieve email via IMAP with power automate desktop app

I am using power automate to retrieve emails from outlook.office365.com but I am getting an sslhandshake exception on running the job. It works on my local laptop but not on this specific server.

 

 

 

 

An error occurred while attempting to establish an SSL or TLS connection. This usually means that the SSL certificate presented by the server is not trusted by the system for one or more of the following reasons:

  1. The server is using a self-signed certificate which cannot be verified.
  2. The local system is missing a Root or Intermediate certificate needed to verify the server's certificate.
  3. A Certificate Authority CRL server for one or more of the certificates in the chain is temporarily unavailable.
  4. The certificate presented by the server is expired or invalid.
  5. The set of SSL/TLS protocols supported by the client and server do not match.
  6. You are trying to connect to a port which does not support SSL/TLS. See https://github.com/jstedfast/MailKit/blob/master/FAQ.md#SslHandshakeException for possible solutions. ---> System.IO.IOException: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host

 

 

How does one go about checking for steps 1-6?
