As I recall your employer is a university and therefore you should take
the above information with a gran of salt. The proprietary protocol EAS
is not supported and will never be supported in any form or shape by
Apple which means your university will loose 50-75% of its students.
The board of directors will hardly accept this. The story was the same
on the university where I am employed but since most of the scientific
staff and 70% of the students uses computers, phones, and tablets from
Apple this idea only survived until the first board of directors
meeting was held after the decision was announced ;-)

Therefore you can rest assure that, at least, IMAP will never be
disabled, though using OAUTH2 which is about to be included in claws.
