Retrieve the Outlook 365 Sent Folder with imap_open

Question

I am using an exchange server, and I am able to download the inbox with the below code:

$hostname = "$server/pop3/ssl/novalidate-cert}INBOX";
$inbox = imap_open($hostname,$username,$password) or die('ERROR: ' . 
imap_last_error());

However, when I try to download the sent folder, I have no luck.

I have tried:

$hostname = "{$server/pop3/ssl/novalidate-cert}Sent";
$hostname = "{$server/imap/ssl/novalidate-cert}Sent";
$hostname = "{$server/imap/ssl/novalidate-cert}Sent Messages";

As well as various other names for the "Sent folder." What am I missing?

If I use imap I get the below error: ERROR: [CLOSED] IMAP connection broken (server response)

I believe Exchange defaults to "Sent Items" for the sent folder. — Alex Howansky, May 09 '19 at 19:32
Also, you probably want IMAP and not POP3, as the latter is (usually) destructive. — Alex Howansky, May 09 '19 at 19:34
Yes I have tried "Sent Items," and have mainly tested IMAP: $hostname = "{$server/imap/ssl/novalidate-cert}Sent Items"; This did not work. — Seth Knorr, May 09 '19 at 19:53
I can successfully use this with my local Exchange server: `{$server/ssl/novalidate-cert/user=$user}Sent Items`. Note the lack of `imap` in the path and the extra user at the end. — Alex Howansky, May 09 '19 at 20:01
Alex unfortunately, no such luck with that. I don't know why it is not working. So strange — Seth Knorr, May 09 '19 at 20:38

This worked for me

$path = "{outlook.office365.com:993/imap/ssl/novalidate-cert/authuser=". $mail->Username ."/user=".$mail->Username."}Sent";
    $imapStream = imap_open($path, $mail->Username, 'Password');
