Authentication Failed - when adding an email account SOLVED caused by Account Hub

topbobster

Hello Everyone. I have an issue when trying to add a second email address to Thunderbird; I get an error 'Authentication failed. Please check the username and password...Exchange auth error' but I am able to log in to my account online using these details. It is an Outlook.com email address. Any ideas?

Disable account hub in Settings/General, then add the account from ≡ - New Account - Email (which includes a manual.config. option).
