Asking for password every time I open the client
Since this supernova update I'm being asked for my outlook password nearly every single time I open up the client. This never happened prior to this update and I've been using Thunderbird now for at least 5 years.

There is a bug on sending issues with outlook and office365 with regard to Authentication Method: Oauth. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1839787
One user posted info that they get access when using an app specific password. You would need to change : Authentication Method: Normal Password When asked for password, you would enter the app generated password and select checkbox for Thunderbird to remember it.
