Hi, I'm trying to add a new Outlook e-mail address to Thunderbird but I keep getting the following message: "Configuration could not be verified, If your username and password are correct, it's likely that the server administrator has disabled the selected configuration for your account. Try selecting another protocol." I have tried both POP3 and IMAP but I get the same message. Any help would be appreciated.

Go to this link https://outlook.live.com/mail/0/options/mail/accounts

The page will display your personal account settings for accessing IMAP, POP and SMTP. The settings will probably be the same as all other free users, but it is a good way to verify what Thunderbird is getting.

Note that setting up a Thunderbird account will probably require you to use the authentication method oauth2.0
