Komunitné fórum Thunderbird

I have Thunderbird software version 128.2.3esr (64-bit). I have 5 email address accounts 1 with google.com and 4 with outlook.com. All work perfect except 1 of the outlook.com accounts. All the outlook.com accounts are configured the same (settings, account settings etc). The error message is always "pop3.server3.2: Got an error name=pop3PasswordFailed, the server said: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password. 2 Pop3Client.sys.mjs:1576:18".I did not change passwords. In fact, I can go on internet to outlook.com email logon web page and access the email account perfectly, even though it fails everytime with Thunderbird. (it still is same password, never changed). Plese help, I have spent some time trying to solve on my own.

I use SMTP settings

Description: smtp.office365.com Server Name: smtp.office365.com Port: 587 User Name: mypersonalaccout@hotmail.com Authentication method: OAuth2 Connection Security: STARTTLS

but TB is incapable of sending email. Either I got dialog https://software9119.technology/__other/tb/dialog.png or error https://software9119.technology/__other/tb/timed-out.png.

I tried cleaning cache and made some re+/search with no avail. There seems to exist some Authenticated SMTP but this is only available on Exchange 365 while this is my personal Outlook.com account.

Same question had Bill Swartout at 1/9/24, 2:30 PM with no answer, https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1423404#answer-1629472.

When I open up thunderbird it asks me to enter a password for pop-mail.outlook.com but it does not accept my Outlook password. And since this last upgrade a few days ago (when the blue disppeared and the brown showed up) I cannot see the passwords. It's asks me to login, login to what?

The password is correct as I can use it to login at the Spectrum site. Somehow Thunderbird doesn't like the password or is handing it off to Spectrum in correctly.

Setting seem to be fine.

Any ideas? If I can't fix I'll need to move to another email program. Would hate to say goodbye to T-Bird. It doesn't seem to be a T-Bird issue though..

Version 128.2.3esr

I Reset my Windows 11 PC several days ago and it was a disaster. I have lost all my passwords and settings and am gradually getting things sorted. So far, I have set up Thunderbird with all 8 email accounts and the messages are all there and new ones are added successfully. Quite a chore as I relied on password manager to keep my passwords.

My current problem is that I want to protect Thunderbird from another disaster as I may have to reinstall Windows to resolve a recurring problem with my Touchpad. Apart from the Profile what else do I need to save in One Drive. I especially don't want to lose the emails or account passwords as it took me so long to get just the Accounts set up. Changing passwords when you forget them has become quite a chore with authentication and on Mozilla, a special code I don't remember being given. I was locked out of this site for a night.

I have just signed up to One Drive for 100GB but I'm keeping backups of Photos, Docs on a thumb drive as I don't produce very much. I never want to be in this situation again.

What do I need to include in One Drive? Profile and? Does the same apply to Firefox?

I'm still trying to get the Snipping Tool to work. It takes the snip, saves it, but when I try and copy it it fails.

Well, I have just tried it here and it works just fine, hence the photo below. It didn't work in MS!!
