Unable to connect Thunderbird to my Hotmail account
I have been trying for days now to set up my Homail account into Thunderbird. It shows it there, but doesn't download any messages.I have tried every way I can to set it up, but, no joy. I even downloaded a programme suggested on Firefox, but that didn't work either. I also cannot find where to check the SMTP connections. I haven't had any problems with my Gmail accounts, they went straight in.

I know little of Hotmail, but this link may assist:

Thank you for your response, David. Unfortunately, it only relates to office 2010 in which the setting are totally different from my current microsoft 365 set up.
What error message do you see? Are these your settings? - incoming: outlook.office365.com, port 993, SSL/TLS, Oauth2 (assuming IMAP) - outgoing: smtp.office365.com, port 587, STARTTLS, Oauth2
My settings are: Incoming = imap-mail.outlook.com port 993, etc Outgoing = smtp-mail.ouutlook.com, port 587, etc
Hi again David,
I've just tried your suggested settings, but it still doesn't work.
Have you enabled IMAP in webmail Settings/Mail/Forwarding & IMAP?
