The Microsoft Exchange Web Services ™ (EWS) protocol [is being phased out](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Exchange-Team-Blog/Upcoming-changes-to-Exchange-Web-Services-EWS-API-for-Office-365/ba-p/608055).
Microsoft stopped updating the EWS libraries [in 2016](https://github.com/OfficeDev/ews-java-api).
So, it makes little sense to add this protocol anymore.
Moreover, Microsoft announced that [EWS will be retired on October 1, 2026](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/exchange-team-blog/retirement-of-exchange-web-services-in-exchange-online/ba-p/3924440).
You can use a Microsoft Exchange account if it is accessible via IMAP, which is almost always the case because all Exchange servers support the standard IMAP protocol.
