Previously used Thunderbird with Davmail, for several years. with settings in the link; https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=187501

Since NHS mail update, that retired basic authentication protocol & requiring two factor authentication. I have not been able to use NHS mail in thunderbird. https://support.nhs.net/knowledge-base/users-with-personal-mobile-and-desktop-devices-using-mail-calendar-applications-user-guide/

NHS support suggest using Outlook eamil client instead.

Any way to use nhsmail in thunderbird?

Many Thanks...

Sanjay

Chosen solution

I suggest investigating the two addons, OWL and EQUILLA. Each works with Exchange. There is a fee, but a modest one.
