## Description
PLAIN IMAP channels (non-OAuth) were silently retrying failed
authentication every minute, forever. When credentials are
wrong/expired, Net::IMAP::NoResponseError was caught and logged but
channel.authorization_error! was never called — so the Redis error
counter never incremented, reauthorization_required? was never set, and
admins were never notified. OAuth channels already had this handled
correctly via the Reauthorizable concern.
Additionally, Net::IMAP::ResponseParseError (raised by non-RFC-compliant
IMAP servers) was falling through to the StandardError catch-all,
flooding
Estimated impact before fix: ~70–75 broken IMAP inboxes generating
~700k–750k wasted Sidekiq jobs/week.

Currently, auto-assignment runs only during conversation creation or
update events. If no agents are online when new conversations arrive,
those conversations remain unassigned.
With this change, unassigned conversations will be automatically
assigned once agents become available. The job runs every 15 minutes and
uses a fair distribution threshold of 100 to prevent a large number of
conversations from being assigned to a single available agent. This will
be customizable later.

- Added a trait called microsoft_email for the Channel::Email factory.
- Rewrote the logic to make it simple to understand
- Rewrote the specs for readability
This allows a user to add/update a custom regex and a cue while defining custom attributes(Only applicable for type- text).
While adding/editing custom attributes, the values are validated against the attribute definition regex, and if it is incorrect, a cue message or default error message is shown and restricts invalid values from being saved.
Fixes: #6866
- Adds the backend APIs required for Microsoft Email Channels

This change allows the user to configure both IMAP and SMTP for an email inbox. IMAP enables the user to see emails in Chatwoot. And user can use SMTP to reply to an email conversation.
Users can use the default settings to send and receive emails for email inboxes if both IMAP and SMTP are disabled.
Fixes#2520
