    Thanks a lot for the detailed instructions.

    I can also add that if your on-premise ABBYY instance is not open to the Internet (network/firewall restrictions in your company) you have to adapt the step 2 above.

    Instead of clicking on the link proposed by the wizard, you have to

    1. Open a Internet Browser session as the user identity able to connect to the targeted mailbox. Open this internet session on a machine that has access to Internet.
    2. Copy and paste in this session the sign-in URL you have in the import profile setup wizard from ABBYY machine
    3. Once successfully authenticated in this session, copy the URL you see as a result of your authentication
    4. Connect back to the ABBYY machine from which you are setting the import profile.
    5. On this machine, open and internet browser session (even if no access to the Internet) and paste the URL from step 3 above

    This last step should get you successfully signed in

    Thank you for this information. I have this setup in our platform and it does work as expected; however, it appears the token is expiring and I have to reconnect to refresh the token. How can I keep this token alive so that I don't have to manually login to the server and refresh it?

    Token expired after 90 days. It's a default and it cannot be changed for now in latest Release 4 Update 1. Abbyy support informed me that they will add auto-refresh in next release 4 update 2

    So for now you have to set a reminder on your end and manually refresh the token by doing the sign in step again on each import profile
