Hi

I have endured weeks of Thunderbird conflicting with Hotmail.

Occassionally it works.

Today is another 'no go' day cannot trans or recieve. Hotmail online works but not Thunderbird.

What is going on at Mozilla ?

Starting today, I am constantly prompted to enter a password for my Hotmail accounts on Thunderbird. Both on Ubuntu and Windows. Entering my normal or generated app password does not seem to work. I have no success yet and instead am now using Outlook Online. Wondering if a Thunderbird update caused this.

Is the authentication set to OAuth2? Here is a working setup.

It wasn't for me. But even after changing the settings to look just like that, I keep getting the same error. Whenever I open Thunderbird, I get this prompt "Login to server outlook.office365.com with username ***@live.nl failed."

Remove the entries from Saved Passwords in Settings, restart TB, enter the account password in the OAuth window.
