1. I use thunderbird for three mail accounts with microsoft and need to update my authentication. Your article shows me what to do and I am keen to try. My point of contention is "Administrator approval". I have no Administrator. On my PC I am the administrator. Can you elaborate on what I have to do. I do not have a {tenant-ID}. 2. Do I have to do the administrator approval for each mail account separately? Hope you can help. Regards Nick email: gigerne@gmail.com

All of the tenant stuff related to corporate office365 subscription and is managed on the web site. It has nothing to do with local administrator access.

If you are a simple hotmail customer like me; You ensure your server is correctly set. (name wise. It is now a 365 server name. Place Thunderbird in offline mode by clicking the ((o)) in the bottom left on the status bar Restart Thunderbird and change the authentication method of oauth. Return Thunderbird to online mode

Thaty way there are no failed authentication attempts connected to the restart.
