Description

Steps to reproduce
  1. Begin with an instance of NC 24.0.6 and Mail 1.13.9 installed
  2. Configure and test mail account to local IMAP server using mail app per user (as opposed to the global Groupware settings)
  3. Upgrade to Mail 1.14.0
Expected behavior

Mail should upgrade and continue to be functional via the web UI.

Actual behavior

Upon login to previously working user account the dashboard mail widget just spins and never shows any content. Attempting to click into the Mail app yields:

Research direction

Start at apps/mail/lib/Db/MailAccountMapper.php line 98 and trace how stored account rows are mapped through AccountService.php. Reproduce the upgrade from Mail 1.13.9 to 1.14.0 with a per-user IMAP account, then verify that the Mail app and dashboard widget load without the authMethod exception.
