There is a need to read email from office365 inbox without using of IMAP and POP3 protocol, Because these protocols are disabled in my case and also I can't enable them due to some security issue. Please suggest me if any other way to do the same without these two protocol.

Thanks in advance!

Yes there is another way (several in fact, but I will suggest one). There is an API called EWS (Exchange Web Services). It is pretty straightforward to use. You just need the Credentials of the account.

Here is a small example:

ExchangeService service = new ExchangeService(ExchangeVersion.Exchange2010_SP2); // This is the latest version of this library

ExchangeCredentials credentials = new WebCredentials("email", "password");
service.setCredentials(credentials);
// this.exchangeService.setWebProxy(new WebProxy("xx.xxx.xxx.xx", 8080)); // If you're behind a proxy
service.setUrl(new URI("https://outlook.office365.com/EWS/Exchange.asmx")); // This is the standard URL

Folder inboxFolder = Folder.bind(service, WellKnownFolderName.Inbox);

FindItemsResults<Item> results = service.findItems(inboxFolder.getId(), new ItemView(10)); // 10 is the number of items to fetch (pagesize)

for (Item result : results)
{
    EmailMessage currentEmail = (EmailMessage) result;

    System.out.println(currentEmail.getFrom());
    // And so on
}

The library is capable of doing a lot more such as reading/booking appointments, sending Emails, and so on.

The library uses SOAP as far as my knowledge goes, so you're safe from POP and IMAP.
