Thunderbird kept asking for the Password for my Hotmail Account. As it was the old version of it I had I uninstalled it. I then installed the latest version Thunderbird 115.0.1 Supernova 64 BIt. It has started to ask for the Password again.

I am running Windows Ten Pro 64 2H2 Build 19045.3208 I have done everything in this link other than the install software.

https://windowsreport.com/thunderbird-k ... -password/

It is still doing this.


I have been told this may be due to Norton 360 that's installed on my PC. Also I have been told Norton 360 does not support client integration with Thunderbird.

Do you have any ideas? Thanks :)

What are the server settings? Is the authentication method OAuth2?

Run Windows in safe mode to bypass Norton at startup to test its (probably negative) effect on TB.

Try with the settings shown in the link in my first reply (hint: use OAuth2 authentication).
