Hi recieved this email from Microsoft and wondering what to do....


How can you set up your Gmail, Apple Mail, or other third-party mail application?

Various non-Microsoft applications will have their own steps for connecting to your Outlook.com email account using modern authentication methods. See our help article - Modern Authentication Methods now needed to continue syncing Outlook Email in non-Microsoft email apps. However, you may need to contact the creators of those applications to provide you with instructions. In many cases, simply removing and re-adding your account with the latest version of that application will configure it to use modern authentication methods. '

Interesting Microsoft telling you about other applications having their own procedures and me first pointing you to their requirements to connect hey. But they like to deny responsibility.

First you need to make sure your incoming and outgoing server are as shown in this page https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/office/pop-imap-and-smtp-settings-for-outlook-com-d088b986-291d-42b8-9564-9c414e2aa040

Then, if you have to change the server names restart Thunderbird and return to the account settings. Change the authentication method to oauth in the incoming account and the outgoing server (SMTP) entry.
