So I've been a happy TB user for years, but then one day my company decided to outsource email to Micro$oft.
Still, TB could talk with the Office365 server and things were still good. But suddenly about a month ago, I could no longer connect and get email using TB, only receiving the error:
Login to server outlook.office365.com with username me@my-company.com failed.
The problem seems to be that my company now requires Microsoft MFA via a cellphone running MS's Authenticator app, and TB doesn't(?) support that.
My server settings are: IMAP, outlook.office365.com, port 993, connection security is SSL/TLS, and authentication method is 'normal password'. Outgoing email is via smtp.office365.com, port 587, authentication method is 'normal password', and connection security is STARTTLS.
I've asked the company IT services group about creating an app password, but they have a policy against that. Basically, their position is that they "don't support Thunderbird". Of course, I'm not asking them to support an app, just an 'effin password.
I know of at least two other TB users who are stuck on the same problem, and I think we're not alone.
Question: is there any hope? Needless to say, I REALLY DO NOT want to use Mi¢ro$oft.
Setup: Thunderbird v 102.1.2 64-bit installed on Windows 10.
