Hello, I have recieve a message from Microsoft requesting a change in authentication method to access the Thunderbird e-mail box. I can makert the change for the Server settings from "normal password" to "OAuth2". Howver when I try to do the same change for the Outgoing server, there is no "OAuth2" in the list. So, for the moment, I keep the "normal password". Could you help . Additional information : the outlook name that I use is "Outlook.com(Microsfort) - stmp-mail.outlook.com (Défaut)". Regards Michel

change your smtp server to smtp.office365.com and the Oauth2 option will appear. Although not explicitly in the MS letter, the sample screenshots in the letter did use this smtp server.
