I have the thunderbird app on my Linux SSD I set up Thunderbird all went fine when I installed my outlook account, I also have windows 11 so I booted into windows installed Thunderbird there and when I add the same account that i used on the linux. For some reason it wont let me sign in it gives me an account credentails error then send me to microsoft to sign in another way, the recovery email address is not the same as the one I have signed into linux on. I checked the password and recovery email I created and Im able to sign in the password is fine and the recovery email is as well. The thunderbird I installed on windows the account I am trying to add the recovery email is someone elses account not mine for recovery and its saying the password is wrong. I have outlook on my windows desktop and can sign in to that account I even signed out and back in again perfect. I checked the recovery email and password on microsoft web site for outlook and my account credentails are fine. I cant figure this out. It works fine on linux and the shortcut I have on my windows for outlook. But wont allow me to set it up on Thunderbird I installed on my windows. Why is it that thunderbird worked fine setting up on linux with my account but not on windows... I did delete microsoft edge a week or so ago I was wondering if that could be why I dont know.
